[Cagey is a good word for it. That's exactly how he feels. Cagey.
Like everything is starting to really close in on him now. But that's just life, right? That's just life here.]
Right, no I'm good. It's just weird seeing the streets so busy in the dark.
[God damn liar. But he doesn't want to worry Ryan, who had it so rough last month.
A little beep in the back of his head. The soft whirring of a fan. Closing off and buckling down and tightening up. It's fine. It's fine, he's doing what he needs to do. They should be laying low with wormholes around but Ryan wants to shop and so they'll shop. It's fine. Stop being such a pussy, Min.
He tongues his teeth, canines sharp against his tongue.
As if to make the point to himself he stops and looks in the window of a store, dark stone with almost nothing on display except for a single outfit on a mannequin.]
