But not what you wanted.

[hostage]

That doesn't matter

[morethan084]

I know.

Sorry.

[hostage]

Its OK

[morethan084]

Why not just buy a regular house? Instead of going from motel to motel?

[hostage]

Why?

[morethan084]

Because it's a little less ridiculous than spending money on a run down motel when you can have your own space?

[hostage]

I wouldn't know what to do with it if I had it

[morethan084]

Put a bed in it? Buy food?

[hostage]

Don't see the point

[morethan084]

You had a place at Xavier's.

[hostage]

A place somebody knew I could be found and killed

[morethan084]

If someone wanted to do that, they still would find you somehow. I don't think anyone else is stupid enough to try though.

[Thankfully he's not here to see her face right now, because she's about two seconds away from crying.]

[hostage]

He's definitely not the last person who's ever gonna try to kill me

I don't need a place

[morethan084]

And they'd be very surprised when it didn't work and I came after them.

[hostage]

Don't

[morethan084]

They can't hurt me.

[Yes they could.]

[hostage]

If they could hurt me they could hurt you

I'd rather die than put you in danger

I mean it

Never do anything like that

[morethan084]

I can handle myself, Jesse.

[hostage]

This isn't about what you can handle

[morethan084]

Well I'm not going to let what happened to you before happen again.

And I'm not going to let you do something stupid like die for me.

[hostage]

You don't understand

[morethan084]

What don't I understand?

[hostage]

Losing you would hurt me more than anything else ever could

[morethan084]

[Well he wasn't outright telling her he loved her again. Although that's pretty much what he was saying.]

I know.

[Because she does. Doesn't make it any less uncomfortable for her, given the fact that if he did do what he said he would to Chilton, he would lose her.]
