I wouldn't have to, if he actually listened to you, would I?
[ It's petty, maybe, the way he says it. What he says. The angry little spiteful part of him that wants to remind her that he's not the one inciting this. It isn't that he wouldn't, but Silco's plans are more artful, and controlled. If he was actually going to make a move, he wouldn't do it like Vander has. It would have a dual purpose, be orchestrated, and then, yes. It would involve revenge. Remind him of the monster β he knew it was there in him.
Every time he approached Silco, he reminded him of that. Lashing out.
He might have even respected it, had it not jeopardized he and Jinx.
Instead, it just made him mad. ]
I won't promise β [ he held up a finger, to try and stifle any protest. ] β but I will follow and not make him bleed.
Last time I was in the open, before we left, he jumped me from behind. He could have snapped my neck. That doesn't exactly leave room to call either of you, does it?
[ It was close enough that it had gotten into those receptors of his that spoke of panic.
They both knew the significance. ]
I will not promise only because I don't want to break it. I will, however, promise to try, if I can.
[ It would be easier. If he stayed out of Silco's way.
Unfortunately, that does not seem to be happening, does it? ]
