It's over. After months of being sidelined by the trial of their friend Rafael, the Knights are finally free to return to England and see what headway the Dragon's Claws have made on discovering the location of the Talisman they seek.

But not everyone is so free to return. The consequence of getting Burt's assistance in disentangling Finnick from his contract and super-stardom was an ironclad agreement that allows Burt to sink his claws fully into Rafael's career. Considering that Burt knows their secret identity, non-disclosure agreement or not, the executive's renowned moral gray-itude doesn't exactly make it seem like a great plan to back out on the compromise.

They've at least been able to put off their goodbyes for a few days since the end of the trial, as Burt invited all of them to New York City for the opening of his brand new nightclub. Some of them flew out, while Archer and Des presumably drove their matching El Caminos cross-country in the days between. But now they've all met again in the Big Apple, for a celebration - and farewell of sorts.

You have never looked more beautiful. [ he brushes the bottom of her chin with the side of his index finger, as if to say 'chin up', smiling for her as he moves to push the door open. ] Per piacere?

[ that earns a smile, and she hides it by ducking her head in direct contradiction of his gesture. she shyly turns her head away, back towards the skyline. she holds up a hand to still him for a moment, resting it against his abdomen. ]

Wait.

[ she stares out at the city lights with heavy longing, after a moment, she looks back up at him, that look in her eyes never wavering. she seems to be satisfied with her lingering, because she turns finally to go inside, haphazardly trying to wipe the result of dried tears and heartbreak off of her face with no more avail than she'd had outside on the roof. ]
