Seriously, the disapproving look? It's a whole world of bad you don't want to get into. Especially if it's tied to the job. Injury is inherent in that line of work. If you disapprove of the job then you shouldn't be with him. I know that's not exactly your deal but the disapproving look at the injuries has that correlation. You know what someone wants after getting shot on the job? Someone to be nice to them and take care of them when they're too busy being manly to admit it hurts no matter how many times the bastard hisses when something hits the damn wound. You want to steal a lap or have your girl lay on you and pretend everything's alright like a normal person.

If you wanna give Ea disapproving look after he starts a bar fight for no reason? Go for it, he deserves it. After he gets a bottle to the face because some asshole was eying you, saying something about you or trying to put his hands on you? Kiss him and say you wanna go home.

I just mean you should be careful with all those disapproving looks at injuries. It could do more harm than you think it will.

I...

It's not the jobs I disapprove of, or even the injuries really. I just worry a lot, especially about how much I care.

I'm getting pissed off because someone like John is hitting on me, even when I know Eamon wouldn't care. He'd probably do that stupid 'Well, maybe it'd be better for you to be involved with someone closer' and it'd make me want to hit him.

I'm scared, Vee.

I know you worry. Maybe you should tell him you worry. Like a lot. Like every fucking time you talk to him. 'Cause people die in that life. I was fine with that when I was in it, but everyone I cared about was by my side in it with me. But I get why he does it. I get that he can't think of anything else he'd ever do. But maybe you should tell him you're worried about him all the time. If nothing else it might get him to send you a text message more often or something.

Why're you scared?

I don't want him to distracted by thoughts of me missing him. What if he's thinking of me when he should be thinking of the job and it gets him killed? I'd never forgive myself.

I don't know if he feels the same way. What if he doesn't? What if I told him and he said he didn't feel that way. I think I'd want the ground to swallow me up.

What if he has the option of coming to see you for a day or segueing over to this other place for this other thing that isn't really necessary and the only thing that gets him to show up at your door is you telling him you miss him? 'Cause I'm pretty sure he misses you too or this wouldn't still be going on.

What if he does and he isn't saying it because he's too busy being a guy? 'Cause Ea? Suffers from being a guy a lot. He can be sweet, but he'd still rather not acknowledge emotions if he could. Part of that big, tough mercenary thing he's got going on.

So what you're saying is, is that if I tell him I miss him, it's possible he'd do something to relieve that missingness?

Why have I got to be the one to say it first though? It's entirely scary and full of awkward and scary.

Yeah. 'Cause it's really easy to forget there are people outside your crew who care about you. And who not just want to see you but need to see you. So sometimes you don't factor that in. And it's got nothing to do with not wanting to see them, but having eighty other things to get done. But if you remind him he might be like "Hang on lads, detour! I've got to go see my girl."

Nothing in life that's worth doing is easy to do, kidlet.

I'll go call him now then. Or e-mail him if I don't get him on the phone.

I think talk of that other kind can wait till I next see him. I don't think it's the kind of thing you blurt out over the phone.

Good plan. Or text messages. You can save a text message and then have it whenever you need a pick me up. Just saying.

Uh, yeah, you're probably right there. Blurting it out over the phone seems like not the best plan ever.
