We were talking. [About you.] And I uh... lost my temper. Told him he couldn't have any more alcohol until he stopped whining. [It still makes him angry, warming his voice; called him a deadbeat jerkoff asshole. Piled his own father's sins onto the plate too, because why not.]
Guess he didn't like that. Honestly, I'm surprised it took us this long to start throwing punches.
[There's another long hesitation; for anyone else, he wouldn't switch. He doesn't want to, for her sake, but it's not fair. It's not fair to make her worry and it's not fair to take away one of her senses because he's a chickenshit asshole.
So he swaps to video, too, and lets her see what honestly looks a lot worse than it actually is. He drops the icepack down to his lap, sucks at the back of his teeth: Cain concentrated on his face, broke his nose, elbowed him in the jaw. None of it's serious, he's had worse, but the bruising and the swelling has set in, along with the pounding, concussive headache.]
