Attention all Barkers:

[stick_to_priest]

This fighting will cease, this instant!

Benjamin and Sweeney:

Both of you, you're acting like children! If either of you cared for Lucy as much as you say you do, then perhaps you'd notice just how much your fighting is stressing her out!

You both claim you wish to help. I see no help here.

That lunatic is growing close to her, growing close to my Lucy, MY WIFE! How can you tell me to let this go!? HOW?!
...

It isn't my intention to put her under any sort of stress..

Perhaps you're right...

I'm doing nothing but causing her more agony...but he is the man who started this.

Calm, love, calm. Hysteria never helped you in the past.

I never doubted that, but you must understand that he does not know the ways of this world yet. Let him learn...he will learn.

You must remember who he is, Mr. Todd.

Of course he loves her. He knows nothing else, he is blind. Just the name brings him that feeling. You know of which one I speak.

He killed her, he killed her. HE KILLED LUCY.

Mr Barker, please, calm yourself. You're helping no one.

He didn't know it was her or she wouldn't have been touched. He thought her dead, dead Mr. Barker.

She was a simple beggar woman, in Todd's eyes, unknown to him that she was his wife. In addition to this...she had been in his shop the minute before the Judge had entered. If she had remained, the Judge would still be alive.

But to kill...to kill her?!

Private to AU!Benjamin Barker

[stick_to_priest]

He killed a beggar woman, not Lucy, in his mind. He regrets it more than you shall ever know.

He allowed himself to be killed after he discovered what he had done...of course, we were brought here and the desired result did not occur.

Why do you worry for Lucy?

[stick_to_priest]

It is a crime to worry for those from my world?

Hahaa ha! No! But you've spent your time with other matters for so long...

Leave Lucy be.

You needn't worry yourself about my affairs.

I am not out for Lucy's blood, if that is what you think.
