The pain down his back rattled Soren, but not enough to get him to fall down or submit. "Egoboost? Egoboost? Right, that's why I cut myself every day, you made me feel so awesome I was just overflowing. You fucking self-centered prat, do you even know anything about me?" Soren's hands were cloaked in shadow, ready to push pure pain toward Cass when Teja tugged him backward. He tried to lunge forward again, but settled when he realized that he couldn't break Teja's grip. "Never thought I'd say this, Cass, but stop being a fucking martyr." He turned on his heel and went downstairs, grabbing the pizza and sitting on the trunk of the car to wait.
Robbie had gone to the bathroom to get some gauze, ready re reset Cass' nose if need be. He poked his head back outside, shaking his head.
