Arthur...are you all right? What did he say to you?

Lynda! What are you doing here? *jumps up* Are you all right? That blaggard hasn't done something, has he?

[lyndawithay]

Oh, no. No, nothing like that...

I've come to apologise. Ever since...our last run-in with the circus, I haven't really been myself, and I've been -

I've treated you horribly. I'm so sorry for making you worry about me.

*takes your hand* It sounds as though your chat with the good Captain has done you some good.

[lyndawithay]

It did, it really did, but...

...please don't ever do that again. The "no questions asked" thing. I don't want that to be the way things are.

*flinches* I don't want to know. I just don't want to know.

[lyndawithay]

So, you're just going to throw me at random blokes and go drinking in the pub to try and forget?

That won't make me happy. Because it won't make you happy.

*cut to the quick* No! That's not what I meant!

[lyndawithay]

What did you mean?

Because it felt as if you had...given up on me.

[arthur-gate.livejournal.com]

No, never, it's just I - I'm starting to understand what a difficult thing I've asked of you.

[lyndawithay]

It's important to you, Arthur.

[arthur-gate.livejournal.com]

I wish I could say that I don't care who you gallivant around with as long as I don't lose you. *thumps his chest with a tight fist* But it's not true - it's not true!

[lyndawithay]

*seizes both your hands in hers*

I know it isn't. That's why I don't want to do that to you anymore.

But I need your help, my darling. Please don't put me in the way of temptation anymore. Please try to have faith in me, difficult as it must be, and know that I am trying.

[arthur-gate.livejournal.com]

Oh Lynda. I am so very sorry. I believe - I know that I can trust you. *embraces you*

[lyndawithay]

*little sigh*

Thank you, my darling.

And another thing - if anything I do ever makes you feel jealous, I give you permission for the moment to insist that I stop, even if it's perfectly innocent, and I promise that I will. This is just for now; I've been too easily swayed from my resolve in the past, and I think I need you to remind me. So for now, you are allowed to be very, very jealous of me. All right?

*lifts you up, as though to carry his bride across the threshhold*

I am going to take you home now, Mrs Gate.

[lyndawithay]

*kisses you*

Whatever you say, my darling husband.

[arthur-gate.livejournal.com]

*takes you home and gives you a good ravishing*

[lyndawithay]

*deliriously happy*
