( it's better, even if toki's voice shakes. it doesn't sound as if he believes it, but he will in time. what will it take to break his spirit? more time spent in darkness? more assurances that dethklok is thriving without them?

for the time being, his hair-trigger seems like it's been assuaged. )

That's right. They don't. ( he sighs, feels himself relax into the ground. he sits criss-cross, watches like someone might watch an animal at the zoo. )

Eat up, buddy. You're getting a bath after this. You stink.

[dethangel]

Huh?

[Of course he stinks, he's been stuck here like this for... for... whenever. Still, the fact that he's getting a bath feels... good? Maybe? He could use it, really...]

Oh, uh. Thanks?

[Feels like the appropriate response. He digs into his burger again, trying not to eat so fast he ends up choking, but he wants to make sure he's eating fast enough he won't get shit for it.]

( toki could stand to slow down, but there's something gratifying about watching him wolf it all down, afraid that it might be taken away if he doesn't make a show of his appreciation. for that, magnus smiles to himself. )

Yeah, pal, you reek. Not like your girlfriend smells much better.

( right, the girlfriend, abigail. the two of them were getting pretty chummy. separation made sense at the time. divide and conquer.

with a key he produces from his pocket, magnus unlocks the cage and gets up to his feet. he lets the door swing open. it's just that easy. )

Come on, now. I don't have all day to fuck around with you.

She... ams my friend what's a girl. That's differents.

[Like if he insists on that, maybe he'll be nicer to her or something. He's not sure. He's doing his best with what he has.

He hesitates a bit as he finishes his food, looking apprehensively at the now-open cage. He'd never be able to make enough of a break for it to be worth it, so he barely considers the possibility. He steps out, nervous.]

Okay...

[juryduties]

Sure, sure—

( whether he doesn't believe toki or just doesn't care isn't clear. whatever rejoinder he has prepared gets cut off as toki exits. for his hesitation, he gets a hand pressed hard between his shoulders blades to keep him down on the ground. )

What the hell do you think you're doing?? Crawl, you asshole.

( once it seems that toki gets the message, he eases up. )

Christ. Get a bitch a sandwich and he thinks he's a person. Last time I make that mistake...

[Toki winces as he's shoved back to the ground, easily letting Magnus move him however he wants.]

Sorries. Sorries!

[It had been too normal, hadn't it, luring him into a false sense of security. Fuck, maybe that ruined all the possible goodwill he could have had.

Or maybe it would have happened anyway. Either way, he crawls out, doing his best not to get in the way.]
