Still adamant that he did not need any help, Daxton continued to heave the screechsnap across the dungeon, aware that Myers was still talking to him, as he could see him out of the corner of his eye. Unfortunately, stubbornness did not make up for tiredness, and before he was even halfway across the room, Daxton was forced to stop as his knees came dangerously close to buckling, and he sat himself heavily down on the floor.
A breather, that was all he needed. Just a moment to breathe, think, collect himself. While he did so, he dropped the screechsnap onto the floor in front of him, to give his aching arms a rest.
Pushing his hair off his sweaty brow - sweaty? When had he started sweating? - Daxton just so happened to glance at Myers just in time to see him gesture to the door.
The door?
The... door.
Daxton was not exactly skilled in the art of deciphering non-verbal communication - ironic, given his general predicament when it came to speaking - but he had, quite literally, been shown the door by many people in the past. What Myers was doing, that meant 'get out', Daxton was sure of it. But... what if it was a trick? What if Myers was acting like he was telling him to leave, only to stop him, and lengthen the detention for trying to escape? The task, after all, was not even finished.
Not removing his earmuffs - because the screechsnaps were still going - or asking for clarification, Daxton simply sat where he was, taking steadily calmer breaths as his body began to recover from the manual task, and stared at Myers. He was more accepting of the idea that the detention had been ended early, than he was of receiving help, but it was still just... suspicious. Then again, his detention with Ichihara had ended almost as abruptly and without him progressing at all, with - though Daxton had not been able to tell - an air of resignation on her part too.
In the end, Daxton decided that it would be stupid to pass up an opportunity to get out. Without waiting another moment, he quickly pushed himself to his feet and all but ran to the door, eager to put as much space between himself and this noise (and Myers) as he possibly could.
A month of detentions over, finally.
