He looked at him.
'I can rip out your larynx and shove it down the rest of your throat, if you want.'
"Erik. Nice drunk and all, but we've got stuff to do."

Edited by Moot: 12/28/2015 8:58:10 PM"Erik, wake up! Can you hear me?" Switch was clasping the side of Erik's head, trying to get a response of some sort.
-
Nothing happened.
-
"OK, OK... Control... Restraint..." Switch raises a hand over the wound penetrating Erik's shoulder and chest and kept it still. Closing his eyes and concentrating, small dark tendrils began to emerge from the wound, like thin black threads. They began to weave over each other and connect, beginning to stitch the wound up and seal it together. Some of the blood on the floor even began to move and flow towards Erik's body, as if time was reversing.
-
He took a shuddering breath and jumped up, tripped on the piece of metal, and fell onto Switch.
-
"Oh thank God! Are you OK? You're a lot more lively than you were a few seconds ago"
-
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Thanks."
-
"Sorry for doing that, thing... I kinda lost control a bit. You good? Okay, phew"
-
"I am now. It's fine, you made up for it. Mostly..." Erik looked down at himself. "Oh, right. I should probably get off you now...'
-
"Uh, sure. I don't really mind that much though"
-
"Heh. Me neither, I guess." He was on his hands and knees, straddling Switch's waist. He tried to push his feelings down so Switch couldn't detect them, but he couldn't. He felt himself falling for him, but he couldn't let himself. Oryx wouldn't allow emotional connections.
-
"You sure you're ok? You don't seem quite yourself right now. I mean, that injury was pretty severe. I don't even know where that jagged metal came from"
-
"Being Taken made me pretty much unkillable. I die, then Oryx shoves my soul back into my carcass."

Edited by Moot: 12/28/2015 10:26:02 PM"I see. Remind me never to meet Oryx... Aries was bad enough"
-
"Yeah. Yeah. He's pretty bad. Especially when he's your master." Erik had leaned in closer without thinking about it. Their helmets were only a few inches apart.
-
"I bet... You can stand up now, if you want..."
-
"But what if I don't want to...?" They were almost touching.
-
S: "Well... If you don't want to, then--" J: "Hey guys, I'm ba-- whoa, you two are getting cuddly" Jaden had returned from the makeshift hangar, back to where Switch and Erik were.
-
Erik immediately pushed himself to his feet and drew his Last Word, aiming it at him. He recognized who it was and holstered it again. "Jesus! Don't do that!"
-
J: "Uh, suuure... Sorry? Should I be saying sorry or something?" S: "no, Jaden. You don't have to say sorry" Switch also got up of his back and onto his feet.
-
"I tripped, that's all. Nothin' else. Right, Switch?" He gave a barely noticeable nod to him.
-
S: "Uh, yeah sure. You actually did trip. On that piece of metal, from which I had no idea where it came from. Like, at all" J: "uhuh. Cute. Well, I just came back to say that Zaaria will be here in a moment. She had a personal run in with Aries apparently. Sounds like fun"
-
"Awesome. Cool. Yeah..."
-
S: "what about the ships?" J: "all prepped and ready to roll. I triple checked that, by the way" S: "and what about the Vex network taps?" J: "still have no idea what those are or what they do, but they're good to go as well"
-
"How...?"
-
J: "hmm, say what?" S: "how... What?"
