Yay for new part


I hope I'm around for them all, until the end

And I guess LMan's trying to reply on his phone?
Anyway, was catching up, and I really think it has to be Brendan Ste goes to, if they're making such a point of the comforting. I know Declan's there, but they need more than just that reason to interact to keep the connection alive. It has to be personal. And it just ties into everything else going on. Maybe it's Ste that's wary of Brendan at first because of the whole endangered thing, but it's Brendan against his better judgment and usually guarded feelings, that won't let Ste walk away uncomforted? And this is the perfect opportunity for Brendan to get in his hometruth about Doug, and for Ste to learn that while Brendan understands, Dec's in the village right now. There's so much use and meaning in a scene like this.
And I was thinking about Later. Think Ste might get any references? Part of me wants it, and would think he would be, but the rest of me doesn't, since he won't be there at all.
