PANIC LACED THE elder's expression, blues shooting to his brother in worry. Private knew exactly how Skipper did things, exactly how his commanding officer would handle these situations. But doing it Skipper's way wouldn't work right now -- not when it was just him and Samael. Not when they were surrounded. Not when they had no weapons. No escape route. No plan. Nothing around them to makeshift into weapons. No backup. No method of communication with H.Q.

There was no way back up, it was entirely too steep, and if they climbed too high and somehow lost their grip and dropped down too far-
THEY WERE DOOMED !! No matter what direction they went, what they tried to do, they were DOOMED ! They were both going to DIE, they were going to get torn apart by terrifying, hungry dogs and neither Luna nor the other penguins would know whatever happened to the twins, who'd just disappeared to do a quick mission in the middle of the night, one that went terribly, terribly wrong, all this just for a snack of some kind, one that Private couldn't even fucking remember the name of now that Samael wanted him to try-
SAMAEL'S FLIPPERS SHOT out and gripped both of his cheeks, yanked him over, snapping him out of his spiral. Private blinked a few times, his wide eyes finally settling on his twin. Sam spoke, and the elder had to stop and process his words for a long moment. Then two. Then three. Until what he said clicked. And Private took a deep breath, before nodding and grabbing Sam's flippers, lowering them off his face.

LET'S GET THE fuck outta here. "
