God, isn't he intolerable?

[ It's another step towards her sounding like her usual self. A step she embraces wholeheartedly, because she just doesn't have anyone else she can fully bitch about The Rhys Situation with. BECKETT HELP HE'S SO STUPID AND DUMB AND ]

I was this close to kicking him into the stupid pit when we were there. Now I'm just bemoaning the town's lack of additional pits, you know? Guhhh.

[It is his pleasure and his honour to be a sounding board for Rhys-Related Bitching. Nothing quite holds a family together as commiserating over each other's dumbness. It's The Truth.]

I knew he used to be - well. but I didn't realize he used to be quite so - well.

[Is he fully entitled to bitch about Rhys though when Rhys is going to bitch about him so much no doubt.]

You've been a marvelous influence on that boy, is all I can say.

[ BECKETT NO SHE'S HELD IT TOGETHER DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT OR SHE'LL CRY ]

It's not just me! It's you too. And even Jack, I think, in a way. And just being here has shaped him quite a bit. What with it being... not Helios.

Geez. Remember how you just used to barely tolerate him? You called him my effing ghoul once.

I seem to recall something like that, yes...

[No, no, no, this is hugely sabotaging his entire plan here. He has to back out now. Her tears are going to break him in a way even her anger couldn't.]

I - I have to go, Angel. I will speak with them. And I'll come back. I promise. You know I'm nothing if not a man of my word.

[ SHE'S NOT CRYING, HER EYES ARE SWEATING ]

Okay. Thanks. And - stay safe, okay? Love you lots, even if you are incredibly dumb sometimes.
