"Big? Mills, you're the one trying to stop the Apocalypse. I just have one measly little Hindu demon. Thing. I'm insulted right now."
The words are light and flippant, one last grasp at humor, at dismissing the more serious aspects of this conversation. One more attempt at escape, which she should really be smart enough to let him do. She'd be better off. They all would. And yet. Here she still is.
He doesn't understand.
But he knows exactly how far arguing is going to get him. And maybe he's not quite sure how to deal with the novel experience of being actually chased and caught. Without a gun pointed to his head, that's certainly a refreshing change. Maybe he's just spent way too long with the wrong sort of people.
He turns back to her then, a bruised sort of wariness in his gaze as he eyes her, letting his hands fall to his sides, the stubborn fight bleeding out of him as he waits. "What do you want me to do here, Abbie? What do you want from me?"
Not Mills this time. It's not a familiarity he often uses with her, and it's not accidental, not now.
