#silverxflint

fellas, is it gay for two men to have no daylight between them?

The way that XII subtly parallels Flint's memories of trying to talk Thomas out of his plans to save Nassau, with Flint asking Silver to tell him why people oppose his plan to remove Vane from the fort. The way you can see in Flint's expression, he got this from Thomas. He knows the value in asking someone to explain exactly why they could be in the wrong, before you become fully certain you're in the right. The way he's still hung up on this dichotomy of being the hero or the villain, even though he's now trying to be the hero to the people of Nassau, while England is his own personal villain, his own monster. All the while not knowing he's about to discover the daughter of the friend who secretly betrayed him, and lead to this entire ordeal, the entire creation of Flint. A series of events which will inevitably lead him to entirely surrender James Mcgraw, and become entirely the monster. Become entirely James Flint.
