[ But he doesn't want to be angry with her. To seek support at all, to admit that he's in pain, doesn't square with the image he's built. The perpetual joker, the wisecracker, the clown. Rubber to glue; everything's always bounced off him.

This doesn't bounce. This sticks, and it sticks like a shiv in the ribs. One liar to another, he's been playing along with whatever masks she wants to fashion for herself, but he can't idly stand by and swallow it down now.

[ Normally a cranky Plas changes with the whims of his temper. He gets bigger, grabs for space, shoves himself right into other people's space to throw them off balance. It won't work on her. He doesn't even bother to try. And yet no ordinary human could clench their teeth so hard without breaking their jaw, no human being could ever be so tense, so still, stand on that edge without snapping. ]
