[Well, he'd been in here for about a week. There were hushed whispers all through the Vatican that an AX agent had been incarcerated, but they didn't know what. Petros had returned with a black eye and there were even rumors of the Lady Saint and an agent had gone rogue. So, there Abel was, laying there in his cell and staring at the ceiling and

Abel. [Lilith appears finally. They kept his location a secret from her all week. Now that she knew no one could keep her out or even bothered to.]

[crusnik02]

[He looks up at her, the deja vu not missing a beat before it hits him square in the chest.] Lilith ...

[hislostlover]

Are they treating you well here?

[crusnik02]

I had hoped they'd keep this a secret from you.

[hislostlover]

They did keep it from me.

[crusnik02]

[he really doesn't want her to see him like this. It's exactly like when they were children, Abel being locked up, the others looking in on him. He looks away, a belligerent expression on his face.]

[hislostlover]

I'm sorry. [As if it's her fault this entire mess occurred.] It shouldn't have gone this far for either of us.

[crusnik02]

... You shouldn't have had to deal with it. [He gets up to go cup her cheek through the bars.] I'm sorry that you had to see what you worked so hard for, tainted.

[hislostlover]

[Lilith places her hand over his.] Abel your burdens are my own.

[crusnik02]

[hislostlover]

I love you. Why shouldn't they be? You were only acting in my defense.

[crusnik02]

Even now?

[hislostlover]

I will always love you.

[crusnik02]

[He presses a hand against the bars, looking at it with some sort of remorse.] You shouldn't have to.

[hislostlover]

It isn't a requirement Abel. This is what my heart feels... what it will always feel.

[crusnik02]

[A hand presses against the bars; the gesture itself meaning more than any words.]
