She reached up and behind her, ran her hand along Dom’s cheek. It was rough, unshaved recently. She hooked her fingers around the curve of his ear and turned, wiping the smile from her face. He looked down at her, his gaze dull.
“Dom, dear, this’ll work. Soon, you’ll have her back.”
His hands patted her hair down. “Yes, I’ll have Mal back.”
He looked a bit happier at the reminder, and the lines graven into his face grew shallower. He made to turn away from Ariadne, but she held on, slipping her hand down to the back of his neck and pulling him close, so that her head rested on his chest. She listened to his deep breaths and fought the urge to slip her hand through his skin and between his ribs, feel the vivid beat of life within. Instead, she simply listened. He couldn’t go on like this, pining for his dead wife. She wouldn’t let him. Dom must be assuaged. He must learn to accept what was and let her go. She spoke without looking up.
“You will see Mal soon. You will see her.”
Ariadne let a soft trail of magic slip from her claws and move through Dom. Ordinarily he would have noticed the invasion, but he was too distraught and distracted to pay her magic, to pay her, any attention. She let the magic move through him and persuade him that she was right - that no matter what happened, no matter how Mal returned to them, Dom would recognize her and be satisfied. And then, Ariadne hoped, he would be able to let her go. After all, she had never promised Dom that he would get to keep Mal. Her smile grew once more, and she hid it behind the lapel of his jacket.
Nevertheless, if this Arthur failed entirely, if he could not manage to Raise Mal at all despite his stellar reputation, there was nothing Ariadne could do. She couldn’t reverse death, only cause it. Perhaps she would pay Arthur a visit, and ensure that he completed the task. Dom’s arms wrapped tight around her, and his heartbeat sped.
Yes, she’d go visit Arthur. Soon.

The detail of Ariadne's claws is so fascinating and really adds to the scary aspect of the character. Am completely intrigued about Eames and who Fischer wants raised. Can't wait to find out what happens next!
