that seems to be the story of their lives lately, isn't it? bounced from one derelict, hopeless situation to the next. he's had a lifetime of hopelessness, so it's funny how much this wears on him now. perhaps drudging through unhappiness is simply easier when you don't have any hope for the future. foolish as it is, Killian does have hopes for the future, he even has them with the woman he's with. so starving slowly in a demonic hotel and now carving a cadaver open for its heart? really not what he was hoping for.
he's not insane, he knows a happily ever after might be a stretch for Captain Hook and the Savior. villains didn't get happy endings, after all. still, a bit of a break. a happy occasion or two. crazy talk, but some sailing would be lovely. perhaps some more tropical weather! more nights like the bittersweet date they'd had, before everything seemed to go so horribly downward. ups and downs seem to come with the Storybrooke way of life, he'd just like a bit of an up.
the only up he has is her, and gods knows she's a hell of an up. he'd rather have her in misery than be alone in paradise. it might be selfish, but it's undeniable that he'll walk into any situation if he knows they can be together. that doesn't exactly make him eager to face another set of draining, exhausting challenges. he doesn't want to see it, and he's tired of seeing her suffer, and he doesn't have a choice.
she's not the only one that considers the fact it'd be easy to simply take the heart with magic. he's seen it enough times to know how easy it is. that doesn't mean he'd like to see it again, and he's not going to suggest it. ) I'll do it. ( he's not squeamish, and he's been a pirate long enough that he's sliced and diced a few men in his time. so there's no hesitation in the offer or holding out his palm for the blade, but it does come with the unwelcome reminder that he's still injured when he reaches out with his left. he tends to not think about it, the blasted thing is more numb than practical these days. Emma is never so lucky, though. she's not likely to ever forget. )
