[That's a hiss aimed at the trees, for the record, even if it's a few degrees below the kind of anger he normally pulls out.
And it's no coincidence that he decided to lash out instead of responding to Baren's kindness outside of a flickered stare, the briefest pause of vulnerability before averting his gaze.
A gun could be placed at his temple and he still wouldn't know how to respond to open kindness, Baren. You fuckin know that.]
... Oi, c'mon.
[He grabs Baren's wrist -- not hand, he doesn't know how to do that either -- and starts pulling in the direction of the village, will put effort into it if Baren starts getting uppity with him.]
Oh? Running already? Didn't take long.
Yeah, you're damn right I am. [Pushing Baren to the front of him, and standing like a barrier between him and as many trees he can manage] If there's no point to this bullshit, we're leaving.
[He's not going to stand here with a thumb up his ass, listening to them rag on one of the few friends he's got.]
