Amber eyes narrowed in her direction at that little sound she made. He'd said more to her in ten minutes about himself than he had said to anyone in ten years. He didn't want her pity. Mostly because it appeared that she was overflowing with excess sympathy and he didn't want her to waste it on his petty lie.
With an exasperated sigh, he took the cup from her and downed the concoction all at once. He dropped the empty cup back into her hands and gave her a raise of his eyebrows as if to say 'happy?'
The mixture was bitter and wrinkled his nose, but he didn’t complain.
"We're very different," he grumbled, leaning back into the thin hospital pillows. Between the pain he felt, and the rigid supplies of the military hospital the only comfort to be had was her presence and he was doing his best to resist it. "If you don't consider me an enemy that is your mistake to make." Which was not to say he wished her harm directly, just that he thought it was foolish for her to give him any leeway in the situation. They were on opposite sides, and whether or not he wanted to be there and whether or not she thought him an enemy was irrelevant.
He didn't know why he was insistent on insulting the woman who was supposedly in charge of his care. She could, at any point, decide to turn on him. Darcy had her pegged as too much of a bleeding heart to really do anything like that.
Bleeding heart.
He found that funny. Given the 'Hart' he knew that was currently obsessed with her. He chuckled.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
