Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.

"We're a team, Zev." [break][break]
Those words gave him pause. They echoed Nenet's sentiments from over a year ago, when he'd refused to disclose the reason for a specific, non-fatal stab wound. That moment had been the first major turning point of their relationship, when she ceased simply being a woman he slept with and had become, instead, his woman. [break][break]
And he trusted her. In that pause, he felt the truth in his bones: that she would take everything he told her in stride, no matter how egregious or criminal, because she trusted him. With her life, her career, and her heart. [break][break]
"I don't care if you assault the city." [break][break]
That was how he knew she loved him. [break][break]
"I can help you." [break][break]
Though notes of frustration bled out of his heavy sigh, Zev nevertheless felt his anger start to dissipate. He took Nenet's hands in his, a conciliatory gesture to begin the mending. [break][break]
"We are a team," he agreed. "I'm used to operating alone, even in Team Rocket. But I can involve you more, if you want to be. I just didn't think you cared for my work." [break][break]
The words were not meant to guilt her. They were merely an observation, because for the majority of their relationship, they had not cared about each other's work, and that was how they liked it. Had that sentiment changed for Nenet, then? [break][break]
Had it changed for him?
