You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love.

I confuse instinct for desire — isn’t bite also touch?

because you want to die for love, you always have

DAISY: Basira, when this is over, you need to find me. And kill me. Promise me.

BASIRA: No. No, Daisy, we’ll figure something out.

DAISY: These last few months… it was always borrowed time, wasn’t it? Can’t outrun it forever.

@anchoir gets a bond au starter for daisy!

basira doesn’t get distracted on jobs. that’s why she’s the best mI6 has.

and even this, she’ll keep telling herself, isn’t a distraction. the woman’s been following her from the airport in versailles, and it’s in basira’s best interest to find out why. who is she working for? a government? one of basira’s many self-aggrandized nemeses?

so she smiles, leans up besides the other woman. “hi. can i buy you a drink?”
