You’re welcome. I think...I know, after all of that, there are bigger targets than you. But if I’m wrong again, I’ll never forgive myself.
[ Will he ever forgive himself for Baela, or for choosing wrong in the first round, even with nothing to go on? Maybe. Maybe not. It feels now like no matter what he does, it’ll be wrong. Alicent will be vulnerable, Hawk is exposed, Alina doesn’t have Paul to protect her, Pierce seems uninvested but still clearly willing and able to raise the dead. He can’t be everywhere at once.
He needs to do the right thing, the one that keeps the most people safe, but if someone comes for Hawk and he’s not there, Tim might as well be the one sinking the knife in himself. It’s selfish, or as selfish as exposing himself as an even bigger target to protect the man he loves can be. He keeps thinking of the worst outcome, the worst of his own instincts, the shred of self-preservation he has left that asks if anyone would have saved him, if Hawk were gone? ]
I’ll figure it out. Maybe the other doctors can be rallied. Are you sure Alina would bring back Hawk if he were hurt?
