He's not...sure how it even happened nor when it happened. West didn't remember anyone pissing him off or someone trying to kill him outside of a fight. All that's known now is the fact there's a dead body in front of both him and Michael, blood on his hands, and...some of it in his mouth, he realizes with horror. The survivor's hands shake as it settles in what he did and the fact he didn't have control over it. It's this fact alone that bothers him more than anything. After all, Death was not an escape.
And he was fairly certain it didn't seem to matter much in this realm anymore.
Right...he steadies his nerves as much as he can, simply realizing that it's a mess that he's made and on the killer's territory no less. Guilt and a rising panic are the first to rise in West, but he smothers it down, trying to get into a more logical mindset, a more calm one and less feral. Less monstrous. There is only an awkward silence as he looks up at the killer once more, taking in a deep breath as he puts on a cracking mask of barely managed calm, the terror and self disgust peaking through those openings.
"...Sorry," he manages after a minute or two, taking in a deep breath to try and steady himself as unsteady hands attempt to pick up the body that was very much mutilated. Did he even know this person...?
"I'll...clean up th' mess."
