and i saw the heavens and the earth

[ I won't be the one left behind this time!

Brady's scowling as usual, but with real anger this time. Anger, and a mounting sense of dread. Giving the frosted glass of their new prison a resentful punch only makes his knuckles throb with pain, but that's fine. Maybe it will clear his head a bit, make it possible to think again.

He can hardly stand to look at the knife and the bottle with the ominous markings.]

You think so?

[ He would know better than she. All she's used to doing is cutting up monsters to ensure they won't get back up. The thought of cutting herself to bleed to death twists her insides up so much that she's grabbing at her stomach with her free hand. ]

Gods, this is really sick. I'm getting sick just thinking about it and you're over there calm as can be!

[ultraviolins]

I ain't calm! [It's not as though he's detached from the situation — it's a struggle just to keep his voice level while discussing such a bleak outcome.] I don't like it any more than you do. It's just.....ya did ask.

[dueltails]

You're very calm about the matter! [ Sniff. ]

I bet you're just relieved that I'm going to do it all on my own if I have to and that's why you're not freaking out. What if I said you had to help me, then what, you big crybaby?!

[Somehow, miracle of miracles, he resists throwing both hands up in the air. That particular breaking limit has not yet been reached.]

I wouldn't be any damn good to ya as a blubberin' mess, that's why! [And yet tears are welling up again anyway, already on the brink of falling. Blame her bringing up that deeply unsettling possibility.] And of course I'm gonna help ya if it comes to that! What, d'you think I'd turn my back on ya or something?!

[ Give her a few more minutes and he just might. ]

Gods, just shut up already! You're just making more more upset with every stupid thing you say!

[ More like she keeps working herself up and looks for reasons to be mad. ]

[His mouth opens to fire off another retort....

....only for his teeth to clench in resignation. Fine. If it's what she wants, he'll button his cakehole.]

[dueltails]

Don't actually shut up!

[ There's no winning when it comes to Severa, hasn't he learned this by now? Only thing he can do to calm her down is offer a shopping trip and even that's negated by the decision looming over their heads. ]
