Telling people to calm down is notoriously ineffective at achieving this result. Witness the lack of calm.

"Aaron you little shit stop trying to bite me!" says Ivan, struggling to his feet without the use of his arms.

Permalink

At least he is no longer succeeding?

Permalink
That will have to do.

Ivan carries him out of the cafeteria. "The fuck was that? Who does that?"
Permalink

Aaron does not answer! He is too busy trying to... no, actually, he is no longer too busy trying to bite Ivan. Now he is too busy crying, instead. This is arguably an improvement.

Permalink

Ivan hauls him all the way back to his room and kicks the door a couple times.

Permalink
Mark opens the door.

"Ah, shit," he sighs.
Permalink

"Little bastard launched himself at Galeni and fucking bit me!"

Permalink

"Aaron, for fuck's sake." He shakes his head. "Leave him with me, please."

Permalink

Ivan drops Aaron onto his bed. "Learn some fucking self-control," he mutters, and he edges out of the room without turning his back on Aaron.

Permalink

Aaron burrows under a blanket and doesn't say anything.

Permalink

"Sorry," says Mark.

Permalink

"You didn't try to start a brawl in the cafeteria, what do you have to be sorry for, you've been perfectly civilized the entire time."

Permalink

"I'm apologizing on his behalf since he is currently unavailable for comment."

Permalink

"Fair enough. Don't let him out without my escort till further notice, I'll be by to take him to breakfast or just bring it in for you both if he's in a mood."

Permalink

Mark nods.

Permalink
"See you in the morning."

And Ivan shuts the door.

Perhaps surprisingly, they are both still there the next morning.

"Either of you want to come to the cafeteria or should I just bring you your bread, water, vat bacon, eggs...?"

Permalink

"I'll go," sighs Mark.

Permalink

"Right. Aaron, no wandering off, th'captain doesn't care to run into you again and needs the run of the place to do his job."

Permalink

"He doesn't feel up to talking to anyone yet but he understands and he's not going anywhere," says Mark.

Permalink
"Okay."

Ivan leads Mark to the cafeteria.
Permalink

Mark is very quiet. Mark acquires foods.

Permalink

Ivan also acquires foods. "You'll know what Aaron'll want better than me."
