”Please Cara — I just want to do something nice for everyone.”
“I know, Charlie.”
( lips purse, pulled into a grim line. poor girl’s too sweet to be tangled in the midst of such a horrific life. funny how easily the child can make her heart twist, almost guiltily. )
“But I can’t take you topside, not for this. It’s too much of a risk.”
honestly, jostrid wouldn’t bother me so much if the writers hadn’t forced it to happen so quickly
like, maybe something shifts at the end of the episode, but at this point, john has literally just left, to “keep her safe” more or less, the woman he’s been in a committed relationship with for years. and within the span of, at max, a couple hours, he’s already in some sort of insta relationship with astrid, making “next kiss” jokes
maybe i’m just totally missing a jesting tone or something. but this feels rushed and forced.
