[ Mark sees Sanji draw his knees up, get ready to go back down after pretty much telling him to fuck off, yet again, and something in him that he'd been keeping buried finally snaps. ]

Fuck you. [ His voice is quiet, but he's glaring daggers at Sanji. Soft-spoken, but pissed. ] There's a literal bomb strapped to your wrist and you're saying you don't need help? It's not like you used my face to kill god knows how many people, so maybe try a little harder if you want to get rid of me so bad.

[ And with that he will swoop right back in to grab any part of Sanji he can to keep him up in the air. Preferably nowhere near anything that might beep or explode, but if that's the first part of him he can manage to get ahold of then so be it. ]

[ Mark recoils at that sudden kick, less out of pain (he's had worse), more out of surprise — that Sanji would do that to begin with; that it still actually did hurt, physically and emotionally.

Not only does he let go, but he recoils at his words, too. For a second Mark just stares, disbelieving. And then he scrunches his face in frustration all over again. ]


You'd hurt yourself just to try to get back at me for trying to help you? [ He runs a hand through his hair, agitated. ] Do you seriously have a death wish?

[ How he means it: How far are you willing to go, Sanji? If he inadvertently threatened his friend(?), well... that's something Mark himself hasn't picked up on, because he doesn't think Sanji is capable of driving him to the point where he'd feel the need to put a permanent end to his shit, as frustrating as this entire experience has been, continues to be. ]
