I asked Doctor Strange and Lady Maximoff as well, I believe that between my raw... power, and your transference and their.... ability to manipulate reality and anchoring it - we might have the best chance of success.
[ Even if this is dangerous, and if this is reckless and - ]
I know it is dangerous. Especially here, with the land so.... so sick.
That is exactly my concern. I am not sure at all what might work in this. With all of us so very different. I certainly have the raw essence enough, certainly, but the other parts are beyond me.
... Not only is it cruel to hear a Spirit brought so long by the fickle cruel nature of man. This, for that reason alone, I would do a dozen times. Such as I have been taught, such as I have always believed, all the world is made better by our kindness.
[ She wets her lips. ]
I love him. Most dearly, and from the first day I ever met him, he has been kind to me beyond words. We have been... been much to each other. He has supported me in everything, and even when we could not meet the same, he has been patient, he has understood, he has been kind.
He is remarkably understanding of... certain limitations.
[ the deeper truth of the matter is that sweeney would likely sooner apologize to them for not being able to succeed, rather than take issue with their failure. she's spent enough time in his company to recognize that to be the likely outcome.
hearing that particular sentiment from someone else, though, causes her to fall silent for a moment, reflecting on her own feelings. it would be unfair to call them anything close to love, but they do have significance. she'd be foolish to deny it. ]
But you're right. [ her voice is a bit firmer now, after that pause. ] Better to discover what we can potentially achieve on our own before seeking his involvement.

[ not that this offers any clarity for her on how they'll be able to accomplish this. ]
I confess to not exactly knowing whether my power will be able to merge with theirs. But that doesn't mean it isn't worthy of the attempt.

I have not brought it up to Sweeney yet, itself, you see. I do not want to get his hopes up if it turns out, it all comes to nothing.

[ perhaps it's better she doesn't get her hopes up along with. ]
If I may ask, though, why do you feel compelled to help him, in particular?
