[Boop. Totally not awkwardly standing at the edge of the room.]

Anthony.

October 20th, mid-morning winksandnods October 21 2011, 04:21:19 UTC

...Kim.

[He has the Journal out, reading entires.]

nobodyspoke October 28 2011, 06:27:57 UTC

We need to talk.

[He sighs, glancing into the hallway discreetly. He doesn't want Guy to know about this.]

winksandnods October 29 2011, 21:15:29 UTC

Come in.

[A beat.]

And close the door.

nobodyspoke November 5 2011, 22:26:21 UTC

[He does so. Kim holds the knob tight for a moment before walking in and standing a ways away.]

You know what I have to say...rather, ask...

winksandnods November 13 2011, 18:37:26 UTC

Of course.

[But he'll still wait for Kim to ask it.]

nobodyspoke December 10 2011, 01:33:25 UTC

Why did you do it, Anthony?

[How.]

winksandnods December 11 2011, 18:45:18 UTC

...It was for the best.

nobodyspoke December 11 2011, 19:34:18 UTC

That's not an answer, Anthony.

winksandnods December 11 2011, 19:40:36 UTC

I did what I thought was best, Kim. What more "why" do you want?

nobodyspoke December 11 2011, 20:25:05 UTC

I want to know what made you do this! What motivation could you possibly have to -- [Deep breaths Kim Philby.]

What happened Anthony? To you.

winksandnods December 11 2011, 20:32:48 UTC

["I'm tired. I'm more tired than it's possible to be."]

They agreed, Kim. [He won't say the word. Not here. Not yet. ANyone might be able to hear them.] I asked them. Rather than being in MI-5. I would work for the Royal family. Be on "chatting" terms with the king and queen.

You and Guy are useful in intelligence. I can do more where I am now.

nobodyspoke December 11 2011, 20:49:14 UTC

[It's then that he comes to a very sad realization.]

You can't talk to me can you?

winksandnods December 11 2011, 20:54:11 UTC

More than the others. [But Anthony Blunt has always had his very carefully constructed walls. Walls Guy never challenged, mock them though he might sometimes.]

This is... safer, Kim. The more spread out we look. We can see more, hear more. Help them and each other more.

nobodyspoke December 11 2011, 21:13:55 UTC

We aren't here any more Anthony. [He realizes his slip-up and corrects himself most reluctantly.] There.

There's nothing here that matters at home. We won't remember.

winksandnods December 11 2011, 21:23:20 UTC

So they say. But how do we know they aren't just told that? Conned into believing it? We... can't be sure of anything here, Kim.

[A pause.]

Except each other. We're all we've got. Like always.
