Confrontations underground rarely ended well. Jay kept an alert eye between Nox and Allan, but inwardly he really hoped none of them would have to step in. For shit sake, who would he even stand with? An old friend or a brother in arms? Since Jay was keen to not have to make that kind of shitty call, he played it cool until the spark dissipated on its own.
As they walked, Jay found himself closer to Nox than the others, even if he was kept at a literal arm’s distance by the invisible barrier Nox shut himself in. The dog, or what was the dog loped alongside apparently meek as a lamb – an ugly lamb. It wasn’t a kitten, but Jay didn’t want his ankle bit either. He had no desire to amputate a leg. Or anything, truth be told.
When he spoke, it was for Nox to hear, but neither was he whispering. Just chatting like anyone might chat in that kind of fucked up situation.
“Allan has a point. I sure as shit know I can’t trust you,” he smirked at the poor attempt at a joke. He almost added something about the danger of being alone, but held it back for mixed company. If Nox was in there, he’d surely find the morbid humor amusing.
“Really though. What the hell happened to you?” He asked. Just to illustrate the point, Jay poked the box.
