[ 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?

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. ]
