...that last tag has never been so apt.
[Maxie is displeased.
It's such a short time into his...tenure here. It's been, what, a few weeks? And apparently the island doesn't waste time in defying belief; it's made that plain already. It's provided some things that are useful; for example, he appreciates the jacket, though he can't tell if it's a new one or the old one was repaired ( Read more... )

1. He has a knife.
2. He...he has ears.
3. He's trying to use the knife to remove the ears.
...to approach, or not to approach...
...oh hell, he has to try and get his rep back up with the guy after their last encounter.]]
...you do realise there's a far more pleasant way of removing those, right?
[[Not that he's flaunting his distinct lack of cat-like appendages or anything.]]

Maxie doesn't answer right away. Settles for glowering. At the same time, Archie doesn't have them - presumably he knows.]
Do tell.

I take it you've never had much luck with the ladies, my friend?

[Watch it.]

Those ears say otherwise, my friend? You know why?
Only virgins have them.

I assume that's how you fix it, then.

[[Don't mind him, he's just going to smug at you.]]

...and then shifts his grip on the blade, turning it abruptly to point in Archie's direction. Though he doesn't move closer, the smile he's giving is dangerous enough.]
Are you volunteering, Archie?

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't swing that way.

That reaction seems to have been enough for now.]
Then shut up.

grabbing your arm now, you crazy bastard]]
I may not be able to help you remove them the right way, but I'm sure as hell not letting you slice yourself to bits like an idiot.

He manages to keep a grip on the knife, but he's both right-handed and not exactly in a position to stab due to Archie grabbing him like that, and he doesn't seem too inclined to use his left arm very much.
That doesn't mean he isn't going to struggle like hell, though it's not as effective as it could be.]
What difference does it make to you?!
[The question is harsh, practically snarled. Let go.]

[[Yeah, that grip isn't being loosened any time soon, buddy. You may be a tad taller than him but Archie makes up for it with pure brute strength.]]
Now let the knife go.
