( little bit of column a, little bit of column b. felix talks because he likes to talk, mostly, but also because it keeps people guessing and sets the ball rolling down the track of his choice. the simplest way to maintain control of a situation is by tweaking its parameters as it evolves, through either physical motion or verbal hooks. neurotic control freak, one of ortez's mercs called him once; felix punched him in the throat.
half the reason he never shuts up when he's facing down ephemera, really. he's too unpredictable of a fighter, tactically flexible where felix is physically flexible. a stick of dynamite with no stem, ready to explode in his face. as much as he'd never admit it aloud, he needs the leverage.
half the reason he's not shutting up here, too. crais is unpredictable in his own way. hard to read.
felix goes easily enough despite all of this, perfectly obliging. he unwinds to his feet and spins his gun back into his hand as he crosses the room to the bed. the mattress receives a firm, testing prod with the barrel of his gun. bouncy enough. seems okay, suitable for tonight's purposes.
idly, from over his shoulder: )
Do your drag your Dom along to all your dirty hook-ups, or am I just special?
