Stealing Magic

[Greggory Lennox]

So Niall isn't going to help you with it?

[Kenneth Branagh]

I told you Niall isn't involved 
Stop trying to drag him into this

*Peeved Ken*

Niall isn't a part of my hunter life. There's no reason for him to do anything except live out his life in peace.

[Greggory Lennox]

...
I was just making sure.

[Kenneth Branagh]

You make sure he's safe
That's all I want you to do

Keep Niall and your Aldon safe, and leave the hunting to me

[Greggory Lennox]

Fine.

[Kenneth Branagh]

...
Thank you Gregg

We may have our differences but I have always respected you
That hasn't changed because you've become one of them

[Greggory Lennox]

Maybe we'll become friends one day.

[Kenneth Branagh]

Oh? Sacrificing my life to help a friend of your lover's isn't enough to make us friends?

*wry Ken joke*

[Greggory Lennox]

...I'm sorry.

[Kenneth Branagh]

Don't be
It was a joke

The witch needed to be taken down sooner or later
We would've had to go in regardless

[Greggory Lennox]

It shouldn't be. We are friends.

Jem or some of the others can help if you need somebody to watch out, right?
Or would it matter if somebody like me did?

[Kenneth Branagh]

Hm
Good

I've never had friends before, if you can believe it. No time, really.

I'd rather not tell Jem. He'll ask too many questions or he'll try to stop me and I don't want to risk outing you or Aldon.

[Greggory Lennox]

...I believe it.

He was planning to take him out anyway, wasn't he?

[Kenneth Branagh]

Thank? You?

He was but the ancients threw a wrench into the works. I don't think he wanted to attack so quickly. We were still gathering intel on them

[Greggory Lennox]

I'm the same in some ways.

Oh. He wouldn't want to go in swinging against something so dangerous...
