Do not try to prove a point with me, Sabel Dakest because I wish you could have... oh wait I can let you hear the way that sounded," Damien said as he dug in his waistcoat pocket for his watch. It was the pocketwatch he always carried, yes... but he had never actually USED it in front of anyone other than Evander.

Flipping it open he then turned the little dial on top and then pressed the button in. In Sabel;'s SULKY tone the exact words were repeated out of the watch:

"You really think I'm sulking because you're 'punishing' me?"[b] "I tried to talk to you like a normal human being, but you wouldn't hear me. You told me to save my emotions when we last talked here. But what did you do? You came here to fret and worry and then you ran to Gemini, instantly. You did what you told me not to, and let your emotions dictate your actions. I tried to tell you I needed to talk, but you told me to save it. Then, when you allowed me, you shoved my words back down my throat."

Yeeeep it sounded like sulking to him. "You seriously sound like a twelve year old, Sabel. Come on. I told you at that point there was no time for all of that. I cannot tell her. I am bound by the laws that I have sworn to uphold. It's just the way it is. Now, yes, I will indeed do my damndest to protect my wife and child and you can say that is my emotions dictating my actions all you please, but it's all I CAN do. Don't you get it? Protect those you care about, yes, but telling them secrets is just putting them in harm's way." He then flipped the watch shut and shoved it back into his pocket.

Sabel's jaw clenched. And clenched some more.

At long last he turned his eyes away from the other man and started scrubbing again. Harder. Faster. He didn't care how exhausted he was by the end of it, he wasn't going to stop and he wasn't going to take a break. Telling secrets was harming another, but keeping secrets was harming them too. Where was the line drawn? It was getting harder to see.

He wasn't going to ask about the watch. He wasn't going to ask about Gemini's safety. He was going to shut up and do what Damien told him to do. Because he should have done that a long time ago. He should have been doing it for a long time. And so, he scrubbed even harder.
