Nobody listens to me, when I tell you all that he is a liar, do you?
[ A put upon sigh. ]
Do you remember what I told you when we first met? [ About his eye. Where it came from. 'Someone I was close to decided to take their anger out on me over the result.'
His hand lifted, in the general direction. It's happening. Hands around his neck, he can almost remember them. Remember how tight they were. Remember how his head swam, and then there was the water, and he thought it might be all over, if he just... let go.
It could be so easy. So calm. But there was β that thing β
There's struggling in the water. Splashing. There's a knife at Vander's hip. A hand drifts, and pulls it. Silco's lashing out, trying to fight him off, a glancing shot at his arm, he digs in, he tries to escape β Vander is lunging to try and catch him again.

He almost gets away. ]
