[jesus christ he was like two steps away from pulling his own gun out]

Jesus Christ, man.

It's safe now.

[as if the children's toy was the threat.]

It was safe to begin with!

Not till I take out the rest.

[COCKS GUN.]

Please don't shoot the rest of them.

. . . at least ask and then take them outside and do it.

[silly, Leon. you can't launch a surprise attack if you carry them outside.]

... What are they?

[bombs? traps?]

They're jack-in-the-boxes . . . they're toys.

[buddy,]

They make toys that attack?

They don't attack.

They just - pop up. Do you want to see how it works?

[IS THAT WISE...

but he nods slowly,

gun in hand.]

. . .

Holster your weapon first.

[holsters.

don't worry, man. he'll tackle you to the ground if anything happens.]

I promise you, it won't attack. It's just startling.

[getting his.

. . . and leading them into the bathroom so at least when it makes a mess, he can clean it up easily]

[aside from this place just being weird, he's not really open to trusting anything that comes from rituals.

also not getting how this is considered a toy. it's completely foreign to him.

but he nods, seemingly calm. as usual.]

When you hear shots you have to counterattack.

[he explains. how very oil baron of him.]

You need to assess the threat first, you can't react by immediately discharging your weapon. That's how someone gets hurt.

[his cop is showing.

He takes a few steps away and starts cranking the box]

It's supposed to pop up to surprise you - I don't get why, but kids love these. But just watch - and don't shoot it.

[that's not how he was taught. and normally he'd ignore this kind of instruction (Acheron does it too- like nagging), but he's legitimately taking it to heart and not minding it.]

I won't.

[... although he wouldn't mind seeing Tyr get hit with wet glitter.]

[at least with Tyr it isn't nagging, it's definitely said more like instruction or - well, parotting a higher up or something.

He crouches down to set it on the ground, cranks it a few more times.

POP.

It is a cute Thistle sheep. And glitter]

—god dammit.
