[ Because clearly, he booked it once he decided that it was worth his while. The door to the car park opens noisily as Tezcatlipoca quickly strides out, and naturally. He looks absolutely delighted. He might be more concerned if Silco had got shot somewhere else, but even then... Probably not too much. Silco knows the rules. There's no favor from the god of impartiality when it's a situation that he thinks you can handle yourself. ]
—I knew you two wouldn't get along, but damn! I thought it would take longer before one of ya tried to kill the other! Or give a warning shot, I guess.
[ This is turning out to be a great night, especially since he may or may not have a Lisa Frank folder tucked under his arm to really add to the absurdity here... But even if Tezcatlipoca isn't take the violence seriously, he'll take a getaway seriously, so he doesn't waste time in getting on the motorcycle. ]
Real nice of ya to not turn him into paste, actually. Not that he knows that, but, hey, all the funnier.
You keep picking out these kinds of people, and you're bound to have a explosion. But that's what you want.
[ of course, he includes himself in that mix.
Daybit's gaze goes from Tezcatlipoca to the Lisa Frank folder with as much amusement as one can expect after all of this. which is to say, not a lot. but also not any less than usual. he'd rather leave before Silco pops out of the door with whatever security guards are at his beck and call and aren't incapacitated or busy.
he hops on the motorcycle, sliding the helmet on his head. inserting the key to turn it on, he revs the engine once. ]
Nothing good would come out of that. [ he can hold them back through sheer force of will, but if he lost control because silco decided to be stupid... well... lol. ] Though I wonder if being too lenient on him will only fuel his persecution complex further in the future.
[ oh well. time to get going. after a glance back to make sure that Tezcatlipoca is ready and the "goods" are secured, he starts driving. ]
[ Tezcatlipoca beams at Daybit at the word “explosion”, so, yes, completely correct. He’s truly having a great day now, unfortunately for everyone else. ]
Damn right. Explosions make things fun, right?
[ Securing the folder is as easy as tucking it into his jacket and buttoning it up all the way, so once Daybit is ready, he hops on the back and wraps his arms around Daybit’s torso. This was also his plan all along in getting Daybit to come pick him up, but it’s turned out even better than expected. Riding on the back of a motorcycle is already cool, but doing so while escaping the scene of a crime? It’s ideal, which is also why he just laughs like he’s having the time of his life once Daybit gets going. ]
—And, yeah, it definitely will!
[ He’ll just continue the conversation as they go, since it’s not like he has to be too loud when his head is practically on Daybit’s shoulder already. ]
Ain’t hard to do! Guy’s got the biggest, most fragile chip on his shoulder I’ve ever seen. [ love u silco ♥ ] He’s gonna hate your fuckin’ guts until he dies, fair warning. You good with that?
[ It’s also at this point that Silco starts texting Tezcatlipoca, but he just chuckles to himself as he works on that conversation too. He’ll keep it to himself, both for Silco’s sake and because… Well. He’s pretty sure even if he tattled to Daybit, it wouldn’t make the daily cut anyways. ]
[ Daybit is nonplussed as Tezcatlipoca leans against him, instead focusing on the road ahead and the state of his leg.
upon Tezcatlipoca’s question, he has a swift response. ]
Our values were never going to align. This result was always a foregone conclusion.
[ in other words, he was prepared from a long time back. if he continued to hesitate, then it would only be avoiding the inevitable and posing himself as the weaker person. ]
Giving him the advantage by backing off would have been worse in the long run, anyways.
Well, yeah, 'course you two were never gonna get along. I just didn't think it would end up in gunfire this quickly.
[ Most people would probably be concerned about that, but luckily, neither Daybit or Silco would expect anything but this reaction from their resident god of conflict. They both understand his stance, which also means that this feud is something for the two men to handle. Tezcatlipoca won't help either of them to settle their differences or to make the other worse off.
It's some definition of fair, at least... ]
I think I get what you mean. Backing off would give him the wrong idea about your own resolve. Something like that?
[ Tezcatlipoca chuckles, since it's fitting, actually. Considering he'd shot Daybit for very similar reasons, it makes perfect sense to him. Granted, Daybit had gotten that point, and he severely doubts Silco would have, but that's why Daybit was saving/destroying the world and not Silco.
He does glance down towards Daybit's leg, since the smell of the blood catches much more in the wind. He'd been laughing enough about the whole premise that he'd missed it. definitely not that it hadn't happened yet ]
It's hard to tell with you, so how bad's that shot on your leg?
[ Daybit nods as Tezcatlipoca hits the nail on the head. Silco seeing him as weak would be worse for their relationship, as antagonistic as it always has been… and will continue to be, now that this is done. it needs no further explanation, so he gives none.
they stop at a traffic light, and he takes the chance to look down at his leg. ]
It should be fine with stitches. I can make it back to the base.
[ the light turns green. away they go! ]
this icon is just what he's doing on the bike the whole time i swear
Huh! I'll have to give him some kudos for that. But between you and me, they're still mostly for you.

Depending on how good you got him, he might go straight to the medbay to pick more of a fight. You want me to do the stitches, then you can just sneak in and get fixed better tomorrow?

And he'll live. It was just his arm.
He would have been equally annoying if I let him go unscathed.
1/2 but only so I can hit him with the
can't say you're wrong but
wait almost there I want to say this in person

HES SO DOWN BAD FOR DAYBIT
as for the offer to stitch his leg, well… originally Daybit was planning to stitch it himself, but if Tezcatlipoca’s offering… ]
If you’re free, we can work on that in my room.
[ because lol he is not going to willingly put himself closer to Silco if he can help it. ]
