( jesus. an undocumented contract is basically like the worst situation to end up in. he doesn't want marc getting screwed over by khonshu either, though. damnit— )
so you just keep to yourself and mind your own to keep him happy as a clam or whatever his version of that is
( got it. )
sorry, I figured with how most everyone else's I've heard about it must have been similar for you
( in fairness, marc has not even once considered that there might have been a single opportunity for negotiation or documentation. in many respects, he considers it what he deserves — he regrets it, yes, but at the same time, if he'd died in selima, the desert, he'd have died a man without a single good thing to his name.
marc spector may not have done much good since, but he's tried — and apparently, whether he agrees or not, that's worth something. )
I do my job.
( it's not the same thing, and quite what it looks like depends entirely on marc's mental state. )
How many other people do you know are avatars of extraterrestrial beings?
( marc definitely does good, as far as bucky's concerned. but he knows it's down to how marc feels about it, more than anything else. )
you do and you do it well
( in bucky's opinion. marc's a great guy, and even for what things do slip, it's just difficult to see it any other way. )
well technically none of them are bonded to extraterrestrials but I've heard about different contracts with demons and witches and stuff that's more Earth-bound
( moon knight and mr. knight do good. the things that go wrong, marc tends to play squarely on his shoulders, like he's separate from both moon knight and mr. knight, like they're not disguises and alter-egos in precisely the way he used to pretend steven grant and jake lockley were.
there is no real separation there, but it's an easy way for marc to delineate his self-loathing. )
That's not always a good thing.
(bonded. well, that's a horrible way of phrasing it. thank you, bucky, marc hates it.
even if it fits.
probably because it fits. )
It's not worth the comparisons. Bonds can be broken, contracts have an end date. ( marc has never really thought about how this ends, not beyond the way that he's felt empty and unmoored every time he's thought khonshu's abandoned him, not beyond he'll just stop bringing me back — but not the when of that'd be.
he thinks that's probably the difference with khonshu in jail on asgard: khonshu's not here, but marc knows it's far from the same thing as being left, that this time, it was his doing. )
