they're gonna have to chisel the smile off my face long after i'm dead...

Not only did I get the call I been waitin' for, but I got the answer I wanted.

Brooklyn's comin' home with me next week...plus I asked the most beautiful girl in all Creation to lower her standards and marry me, and she said yes.

I'm gonna have bruises on m' arm from all the pinching I been doing.

Congratulations, papa bear.

[powerof_one]

Thanks, scamp.

Y'all know you're part of the wedding party, right? If Rory ain't in need of another bridesmaid, y'all are gonna be my best woman.

[wind_andrain]

Do I get to wear a girly tux?

[powerof_one]

If ya want...crazy dame.

Y'all gotta bring a date, though. Two of 'em.

[wind_andrain]

I do.

We'll see.

[powerof_one]

Gonna invite 'em to the wedding anyway...just thought you might wanna hand it to 'em personally.

[wind_andrain]

...Have you ever even really met Lukas, Jed?

[powerof_one]

Briefly, night you came back, but not formal-like.

I wanted you to introduce us proper...when you came home.

[wind_andrain]

I put him through so much hell...

[powerof_one]

Nahuel put him through hell. Put you both through hell. Trust me, doll...I saw it in his eyes. Man cares 'bout someone, knows just who to kill for doin' 'em harm...he gets a look when he's out for blood.

Lukas had that look, and you only put it there 'cause he loves ya. That's why I like the kid.

[wind_andrain]

...I don't want him going after Nahuel. I don't want them anywhere near each other.

[powerof_one]

Man's been hurt, Regan. Someone killed the woman he loves...he's got a right to get his, if he wants it.

If it helps, I'll look after him. We both know this is gonna come to a head, us versus him.

[wind_andrain]

[powerof_one]

Don't worry, doll. I ever let you down?

[wind_andrain]

No.

[powerof_one]

Then mind me: this will end. No more blood's gonna get spilled on our side, and that's it. I don't care who I gotta kill.
