Isla
"Perk of the job," Isla says with a smile that comes all too easily now that she's sitting out here with Ever, now that all of her worrying and wondering has coalesced into the man before her. Happier than the ghost of himself she'd seen in Stormbreak, healthier than the trembling ruin she'd let leave for the docks before that, it's a breath she can let go that she hasn't even realised she's been holding. "And later it is, then. We can make it a late lunch or an early dinner. Shall we say about three in the afternoon?"
Also a fan of nailing down times and places and plans, this isn't entirely for Ever's benefit either, but even though he's here with her now, the quiet thrill of planning to see him again is like the anticipation of any first date; enough to make her want to break out into soft laughter. "I did catch sight of him," she says, glancing briefly towards the doors. "He seems to be having a good time, at least."
With a wry smile, Isla is about to say something else when suddenly both of Ever's hands are cradling her own, and she bites the inside of her cheek to stop her delight from running away with her. "I agree," she says quietly. "Were it not for the fact that I only technically met this version of you a few minutes ago, I was tempted to kiss you. But that would be inappropriate."

we're gonna separate ourselves tonight
we're always running scared but holding knives
