Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[As he watches McGillis cut his baby brother in half, Izou instinctively reacts;]

Bastard! I'll-
[He's about to make a second attempt on McGillis' life, but then the sway of the mirror leaves him and he realizes what's actually happened.]

I'm fuckin' sick of this place!! Having ta get rescued by you of all people...

[At least he's got his vim and vigor back.]

[ Though it would have been darkly amusing to be cut down by Izou again thanks to all this, McGillis is relieved that it doesn't come to that. The last thing they need is more infighting when it's already taking all of them to hold their own against Argenti's psyche. ]

See to it that it doesn't happen again, then.

[ And if his haughty tone pisses Izou off? All the better. Anger is energy that is keeping them alive right now. ]

[HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????]

You-
[With a flash, his sword's drawn up, point just under McGillis' chin, though it might catch a little on his shirt on the trip up there. Oops.]

Try ta give me orders again and I'll take yer arm off properly this time.

[ While he knew there was a chance of this happening, it seems he still finds himself continuously underestimating Izou's temper. McGillis has always thought of himself as an angry individual - it's the core emotion that keeps him running, but it's a flame stashed away deep inside. He can't fathom wielding it so openly.

Thus, the threat is met with a calm smile. ]

Duly noted.

[His completely calm and composed reaction to some extent infuriates Izou further. React to his threats!! On the other hand, on a baser, almost instinctive level, that sort of confidence...

Well, he's refusing to engage with the thought. He sheathes Hizen with an annoyed noise before stomping off as he does when he's still mad but isn't allowed to escalate further.]
