[ Not even a complaint about the proximity, huh? Truly, he’s learning the most in this little exchange about how much Silco has come to trust him. It’s pleasing in a very simple way, honestly. He waits as Silco stills, but Tezcatlipoca does laugh at the biting comment at the question. ]
Wouldn’t say worried, exactly. She’s a big girl, she can handle herself. But concerned? Sure.
[ But he also doesn’t make Silco wait. Tezcatlipoca may be whimsical, but he’s practical where it matters. His grip on Silco’s face tightens simultaneously to the lowering and firing of the little gun, and thankfully, his aim is true here. This probably doesn’t count as a gun where his bad luck would apply, but Silco probably wouldn’t consider that until after…
It’s all as quick and precise as how Tezcatlipoca would remove a still-beating heart, so once it’s injected, he also pulls away with a satisfied little smile. He continues the conversation without any more pause than that. ]
Missed the manhole bit, though. What’s that about?
