Trust me. Just trust me. He wanted to scoff the words back to her, just so she could hear how utterly ridiculous she sounded to him. To anyone paying attention. He kept his teeth from grinding together, but they were set on edge, jaw squared. Tension across the youthful features of his face. He didn’t lose his cool too often these days -- his temper had always been a threat to him, to those around him, ever since that first transformation and before. Even a couple times when he’d been a kid. But it took a lot to rile him up now. But simple betrayal would do the trick. “You say that as if you haven’t been A.W.O.L. for the last three weeks,” he spat, anger rising in his voice. Straining it, rough from the back of his throat. A growl, but human. He shook his head. “Oh, sorry --” a mocking tone now, “that means absent without leave. Meaning you disa-fucking-peared without so much as a warning and what? Not even goin’ to try to explain yourself?”
