( it isn't an easy expectation to wear, to be the deliverer of messages from someone past. he's not actually surprised by what she offers, though — her head is set on the possibility she might not make it through this, and she's making her preparations. he takes it without much comment. he's honestly a poor messenger, considering he can't deliver them particularly easily, yet she can at least rest a little easier knowing he'll do everything in his power to find a way, if it comes to that.
he'd rather not hear her reasoning anymore, now that he's so aware it's fixed and unchanging, no matter what he has to say on the matter. Graham does not have any interest in fighting, or arguing. that part of him had disappeared some thirty years ago, when he'd been willing to attack a man for dishonoring an animal in his presence.
it's a lot harder to be combative when it's Emma on the other side of it. )
People generally don't write their last testament unless they expect the worst, Emma. ( he doesn't want to hold onto her goodbye letters, knowing what they represent. he pulls open his coat to place them in a pocket instead. it's a little more bearable when he doesn't have to look at them. )
