"Like I said, nothing."
He replies, turning away.
Wisp rolls his eye.
"Fionn, just tell her."

"Fionn, I swear if you are cheating me, I will slap you to the moon, and punch you back to Earth until you're six feet underground."
-
"Cheatin? Sarah, ya know me better an that." He sounds genuinely offended that she'd even think that.
-
"Then. What. Are. You. HIDING!" She asked.
-
"The Traveler spoke to us." Wisp replies.
-
"Wait... [i]WHAT?![/i]"
-
"You heard me. The Traveler spoke to us. And it wasn't g-" "Apparently it wants me ta lead a war an reclaim earth."
-
"Do you mind if I call you Joan of Arc because of that?" She asked.
-
"Please don't. I'd rather naw think o' what happened ta her." He sighs, leaning on the railing.
-
"That's my point... I'm afraid it'll happen to you... or maybe you might have a worse fate. I just can't stand to think about the thought of my life without you."
-
"I ain't plannin ta die any time soon, Lady Warlock." He smiles slightly.
-
"That's the thing... no one plans to die. It always strikes when least expect it."
-
He sighs. "Your right."
-
"Please don't go through with it..." She begged.
-
"Sarah, if it means givin' the City a chance... I can't pass this up."
-
"Fionn... don't... please. I'll die if I wake up to find you gone."
-
Fionn takes her hands in his. "Sarah, I swear I won't die on you, not permanently. But I'm still a Guardian. I can't in good conscious turn this down."
-
"I... I understand. But if I hear that you're dead..." She pauses.
-
"You won't." He says, smiling.
-
She closed her eyes, and leaned in for a kiss.
-
He leans in as well, gently kissing her.
-
After a few seconds she pulls back, "I love you, Fionn."
-
"I love you too, Sarah. And I swear I won't leave ya, not fer anything." He replies.
-
"I don't want you to do this..."
-
"All honesty, I don't want to do this. But if it saves the planet... I can't turn it down."

Tears glisten in her eyes.
