[No others that would be willing? Judging from how she's phrased it, he's not even sure if she's completely willing. He could tell her the easiest way to do it. The least painful. But in the face of the conversation, maybe that's not the topic they should be discussing. It feels cold, even if the logic is sound.]

Are you going to follow through, then?

[barbettes]

Yes.

[ She'd committed. She'd told him that she would offer it, if that's what he needs because they are comrades. (But she's not willing, don't even start about how she's not willing.) It's no display of bravery from her. She's not the one dying. ]

[justttkidding]

Willingly, or because you'd already committed?

[He knows there's a difference. Knows that it's probably the latter rather than the former, but clarification is needed because how else is he going to approach this if he doesn't have all the facts?]

[barbettes]

[ November... don't ask all the right questions. ]

I told him that I would.
He refuses to take a life. Someone has to kill him.

[justttkidding]

[Look, interrogation is his forte.]

You're stronger than most.

He's going to have to face reality at some point; he knows that, right?

[barbettes]

[ You're lucky she's not one to skirt around an issue. ]

He's naive.
But as long as survives to face reality, that's enough.

[justttkidding]

Naive, hm?

[Could any of them afford to be so? Apparently they still could, to some degree.]

Will you need anything?

[He knows he can't be an emotional crutch, but he's leaving the decision up to her. If she comes to him for help, he'll help.]

[barbettes]

[ A self-proclaimed realist that probably couldn't kill someone that held a gun to his face, yes. ]

No. Thank you for listening to me. [ Because she has no idea what she was even trying to do but.

She wanted to. ]

[justttkidding]

Of course, any time.

Good luck.

[And if she decides she does need something, he's here to lean on, regardless of emotional numbness.]
