I FOUND JESUS, WHAT A LIAR ― open, panic attack

[madster]

malphas bared his teeth towards vigenere, revealing bloodstained teeth from an earlier meal. however, the threatening effect was lost when he was crying and trembling like a baby. he wanted to once again shout vulgarities, but he couldn't. nayru began talking and it was clear she had been insulted by his offhand comments. of course. in that moment, he was back to reality. he was an asshole and not dying.

"no, it's ok. i'm ok." he took a deep, shaky breath and let it out. "i.. it doesn't hurt anymore. i think i'm ok. maybe. who the fuck knows." maybe i'll just go kill myself. that would sure show them. i'll go get a rope and from that tree near the town i'll- then he looked back at nayru.

he couldn't ever do that. not with her looking at him like that. he knew she couldn't read thoughts- could she? but he was concerned anyways. he looked back at morgan, his expression softening. "thank you." it was forced and painful, but he thanked morgan for being the first to help him. "you're not half bad. for a dog, anyways."

"anyways. thank you everyone for your patronage and i am no longer dying which is honestly disappointing." he admitted, shrugging.
