[After a second he lets it pass - the dread and fear that it could be just this. That's it. Lights out. The idea that there could be something to regret. He can only really wait and right now, he doesn't want to let the thought come in and consume this entire moment. Leaning in so his forehead bumps against Caleb's temple, looking at him up close, trying to make capture that thought projection curse one more time. ]
[His voice breaks a little when he says it, though he doesn't mean it to be. He knows this probably won't be goodbye, that there will be choices, that they will find a way to save him no matter what. But he can so easily picture an ending, too, one where this is where they part, where all he has left are memories and pithy phrases to live by. When Beau and Ichiro started repeating something else they heard from him, he couldn't help but wonder if that was all they would have of him.
It will be so much worse this time, when he let Molly know him, let himself love him. But he will not regret it. Probably, probably.]
For your wish, uhm. . . Beauregard and I were discussing how best to do it. We have three, and a few different things we need to accomplish. Here is my plan - we may need one to ensure we all return together, so we save that. We use the other wishes for two things. First, we kill the Cognouza and the Somnovem, free everything trapped there and all influence. Second, we wish Lucien gone and you alive to take over, with all of the abilities gained from the Cognouza in tact but without its influence.
Well, I am not sure what they all are, but he can use an anti-magic cone. And if I cannot use my wish on the Cerberus Assembly, then the anti-magic is what we need.
He killed an archmage like it was nothing. We need that.
[ please help me i cant stop thinking about the phrase “weaponizing mollys tits” this is really so much
Anyway, sadly, Molly just grins a bit. He’s into this. Hate it! He should probably be more concerned about the powers of a would-be god that are mostly unknown. For all of his going on about being Kind to Nona, archmages are bad and terrible and he doesn’t quite know why he feels that way but sure. ]
[Molly, you are so sexy to him right now. The mental image of yanking down Molly's shirt and blasting Trent with anti-magic is really doing it for him.]

No, I don't expect you do.

Shifting from just holding his hand to holding him instead, putting his head on his shoulder. ]
… Everything will be alright. Don’t have to keep chasing me anymore.

[Leaning into him, though. Flashback to an hour earlier when he asks Beau why she was hugging him. Sorry for being so gay.]

Is it embarrassing to stand here and just hold each other? Probably. Is it stopping him? No. ]
Sure, just saying. Maybe I jog a bit to catch up for once.
