He’s no stranger to taking a beating. He’s taken quite a few, in fact. From his dad, from other kids, from his fellow inmates that first day in juvie, from other inmates a couple of the times he’d been in prison without Mick…
But an actual honest to God pummeling from Mick, another moment of thinking he was going to die in a fight but knowing that Mick wouldn’t be stepping in to protect him because he was the one dealing the punches… That one was a new one, and he’s been trying to figure out how to handle it, where he stands with Mick, how he needs to act around him. Unfortunately, his––admittedly somewhat addled, at the moment––brain still hasn’t produced an answer by the time the focus of his current train of thought enters the room, Snart’s eyes immediately snapping to him.
There are several moments of stillness, of simply staring at him, until at last he breaks the silence.
“… Mick,” he greets, and anyone who knows him the way that Mick knows––knew?––him could note the wariness as his hawk-like gaze remains trained on the older man, watching, tensed and ready to move if need be.
