[The understanding I've gotten from reading back is that wardens are always responsible for their actions. ]

Very very wry. His tone softens, though.

[We'll handle it. We've dealt with worse than Misty Quigley.]

Arthur just rolls his eyes.

"We have, yes. Something that's much easier to recognise outside of her presence. And- she hasn't actually tried killing me yet," he adds, with a deadpan flatness, "so really, she wouldn't even rank on our list."

[greatoldjohn]

[The fact that we have a list really should be the most worrying thing.]

And that comes with low, evil-sounding chuckle.

[lestercraft]

"Given the fates of people who end up on our list, I'd be more worried about someone here making the effort to land themselves on it."

But with all of that worrying out of his system, he feels far more confident in being able to make his goddamn tea without hurting himself, or John.

[Personally, I'm enjoying the lack of new additions.]

He likes this little domestic existence he'd getting to have with Arthur. He likes going to the library and reading poetry, going to work and knitting up gifts. Going to the wardrobe and helping Arthur with things.

"Yeah. It's..."

It's a strange little life, that they're carving out for themselves here. Even if it was only temporary, for all that it was with a purpose in mind, their deals with the Admiral... it's something akin to the life he used to have. That he'd enjoyed having.

That he didn't think he deserved to have again. Not after everything.

"More peaceful, than I would have expected. Frankly a part of me can't help but wonder when the other shoe's going to drop."

[Other than forgetting who we are and being other people in a completely different place somewhere out in space for a week.]

Just keeping perspective.

[lestercraft]

He huffs a soft laugh out. "Well, say it like that and it sounds like a bad thing."

[greatoldjohn]

[Not *bad*, per se, but certainly not peaceful.]
