What have I gotten myself into. [ said with another one of those quick smiles.

honestly, if tseng had a gil for every "non-violent protest only" type he's met who turned out to be lethal when motivated correctly... but he's not especially hoping to find out whether that's true of cy too, so he's happy to take the other man at his word. ]

So I'd better behave if I want to keep my eardrums intact, understood. Playing twenty instruments badly is still better than I can do.

[ a free tseng fact, not that cy asked. he gestures vaguely in a way that's meant to indicate please, feel free to turn the topic back to "pain shit," as cy puts it. ]
