[Kit's companion is much less subtle about his recovery. Vincent remains motionless for several seconds longer, eyes narrowed as he glares up at the nothingness in the rafters. for all of his belligerent attitude, his life has hardly been fraught with fights; right now, however, he feels as if he's teetering on the verge of lashing out at something incredibly deadly.]
...tch.
[he meets Kit's gaze at last, but he makes no attempt to paper over his reaction the way the other boy had. irritation was an acceptable reaction, negative but moderate enough to believably assert that he'd been purely unamused rather than set briefly on edge.
...but perhaps not as briefly as he'd like people to believe. he silently takes his companion's advice and returns to walking, but his shoulders remained hunched up by his ears. that strange urge to engage lingers in the same way his headache does - if something did happen now he's not certain if he'd have the good sense to flee.]
Not much of a haunted overnight experience, if that's what you're going for.
[as if Kit had intentionally delayed an already brief journey just to be an asshole to a complete stranger; even if this was the boy he'd heard stories about, it was hardly a cutting edge prison tactic. but it's easier to turn the conversation away from whatever that was with a little baseless blame, especially when he's not attached enough to continue the argument should he decide to press it.]
