And just like that, it's easier to slide back. To flare up, incensed, teeth gritted against the fierce sense of optimism Jay's so stupidly good at.
It's just weird that this time, bizarrely, the argument is in Tim's favor, spat out like the angriest compliment he's ever received.
"We have no idea what it's capable of here," he insists from under lowered brows. "The Rift might make it stronger. The Rift might make it worse. You might be okay risking it - I'm not." A muscle in his cheek twitches as he unclenches and reclenches his jaw, glaring. "And it's my body that thing uses to wreak havoc wherever it feels like it."
Does that justify him, at all, to apply any kind of unilateral reasoning to it? It's his body, sure - but once that thing steps inside, that question kinda goes up the air.
Maybe he would be better off, they both would, if he left that little freak in Jay's hands whenever he? it? takes over.
