The joys of the life of yours truly, John Constantine. It'd be better if it was just a shitty story.
[ There was a small huff at Raylan's statement. Good advice, that. If it was to someone who was actually in a relationship - a romantic one. He and Zed had always teetered around flirting and being professional. His own insistence. It would cause less heartache and less problems. Sounded good in his head at the time.
Then, she started staying by his side through it all. Gaz. Anne Marie. Countless of little other things. Manny had been right about how he had started to count on her being there for support. She was someone he trusted, someone who didn't turn her back on him like so many others had. Her with Corrigan just proved what he already knew. Zed was too good for him and would eventually move on like everyone else. ]
Zed and I aren't together, Raylan. [ For once it wasn't a lie or a brush off with humor. ] She found me in a bloody mining town because her magic led her to me. It's all professional. Once we've won the damn spiritual war that we're in... well...
[ He made a gesture as if it should of been obvious she'd move on. They all did. ]
She's got a bright future helpin' people with her magical talents. A fat lot of more good than I'm going to ever do with whatever time I've got left.
