[He looks at her face, eyes unwavering. He wonders what she sees - the anger swirling in the blue of his irises, or something else, the fear he won't admit to, the uncertainty in the tightness of his smile, pretender pretender pretender.

He's not one to look away first, usually, but there's no challenge here - the challenge is outside, in the purge and the violence thrust into their hands.

His jaw clenches again, the muscle jumping. If she's willing to do anything, she might be a good ally to have.] Look. You help me, I'll help you.
