[HE IS EXHAUSTING and he doesn't plan on getting any less exhausting just because Abel thinks he's being talked down from the precipice of crazy mountain!!]

I've already told you what kind of reaction I want. [which is clearly not the reaction he's going to get! granted, he's not entirely through giving it a try anyway. testing limits is kind of a thing he does, more so when he's in a frame of mind like this. he stretches his arms over his head before swinging them in front of himself again. fingers laced, arms held out; he looks disinterested on a whole in both Abel and what Abel has to say. it's definitely a stark contrast compared to the expression he had been wearing just moments ago.]

I won't repeat myself. If you can't lend a proper hand, I'll find someone who can.
