[The gun cocks; her ears twitch. She knows by now what that sound means, knows just as well that it would do nothing to her. Knows that Chris is brave and also very stupid for aiming it at her. That she could kill him instantly.]
[That the fact she is considering it means she's too close to things she shouldn't be close to. It's a victory for Slevin, and really, she has nothing to do but concede.]
[She doesn't say a word to either of them for a moment, just looks up at Slevin as he regains his breath. She still thinks he deserves it.]
[But when she turns, her eyes are gray again and she's pulled back entirely within herself. She gives Chris a thin-lipped smile.]
I'd prefer if you just took him. I need to clean up this . . . mess.
[She waves vaguely at the room, keeping both of them in her line of sight. No point responding to Slevin at all, really. Of course he's not armed. She doesn't particularly care.]
[Put your toy down, little boy. Smile, smile. The worst part is Chris is in the right. Damn him for it.]
