( 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.]
( 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...

[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.]
