Anita is -- the curse...

Oh, come out and say it, Reeve. You failed her.

I did everything I could.

You say that quite a lot.

It wasn't my fault!

Of course it wasn't. But eventually you have to wonder, old man, the people you love keep dying, and there's only one common factor. That would be you.

Shut up.

Your mother. Shalua. And now Anita. She begged you to save her and you just let her slip away.

It wasn't like that. She's not -- she'll be fine --

This time.

No!

Keep loving, Reeve. Eventually you'll run out of people to die on you.

[OOC: Shadows!Curse. Italics are the shadows speaking, only audible to Reeve. He's been cursed all weekend, but it's slowly getting worse.]

[For once, she doesn't catch the flinch. Instead, she's busy trying to sit up, or at least get vertical and leaning against the headboard.]

.... coffee and you. Please.

I'll go get the coffee.

Promise I'll stay right here.

Good girl.

[It's weak, but the best he can manage as he flees. Returns a few moments later, still struggling to keep composure, with a steaming coffee mug.]

[Without looking, her hand finds the mug and before anything can be said, she's almost guzzling it. A moment later, she sighs and tilts her head, rubbing at her neck.]

... don't think I ever wanna do that again.

..... you alright, love?

I completely support that.

[Is he alright? No. No where near. But this is a balm on his soul.]

[Her hand moves to find his as she lets her eyes close again.]

... you didn't answer my question.

[He presses his nose into her hair, breathing raggedly.]

I'm sorry, love. I'm so sorry.

[Uncurls herself to look up at him]

Sweetheart, you had nothing to do with this. You couldn't have done anything to save me, and besides... I'm just fine now. Heart beating and starting to warm up a bit more, even.

[Shakes his head, pushing her hair back from her face gently.]

I could have -- it doesn't matter. You're fine.

No, you couldn't have. Love, please, don't do this to yourself.

[reaches up and pulls his hand in to press a gentle kiss to his knuckles]

... your hands are shaking, Reeve.

[He pulls away a little, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her in to hide the evidence.]

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. There's no reason to.

[leans up to kiss his cheek gently.]

It isn't just your hands that are shaking...

It's a curse. It will pass. [he won't let his own problems interfere when he should be worried about her.]
