[For a brief moment, the only thing in view is the lower-half of Tyki's face, and a cigarette between his lips. SEE: Icon. The cigarette bobs as he speaks.] Do spare me the comments telling me that it serves me right. The most of us aren't in grade school anymore, after all.

[Pride: Put aside.]
It was Lucifer.
[It's almost a hollow sound. And then, much more strongly:]
Make him pay for it.

[Sob. Music notes are never a good thing.]
I'm tipping my hat to you, Scars.

[Lucifer used his mom against him. Hell. Fucking. No.]
Just keep everyone else out of it and no one will give a damn what you do.

Come now, going to make me do your dirty work for you, boy?
[Excluding the fact that... Tyki isn't going to let anyone get in on this. There are appearances to keep up, after all.]

We didn't have a choice. Just - calm down.
[OKAY LOOK SHE HASN'T DEALT WITH TYKI MUCH.]

We all have a choice, Lass.

People we cared about were being hurt. We did what we thought we had to. We had to get them back. [And then, hastily:] The way you feel about Rhode is the way we felt about our friends, except her attack was unprovoked. Try to understand.

[Because Tyki's shouldering all the blame onto Lucifer. As far as Tyki is concerned, Rhode is only guilty of hopping onto a bandwagon.]
[If he was thinking more clearly, he'd be just a little worried at how much like Cyril that is, to shaft Rhode of any of the blame.]

Yeah, that's right, Hino Rei, because she is a) sick, b) has a migraine, and c) really, Adstring, you kill the one girl who keeps this dude sane? Really? Dammit, people.]
She's going to come back, Tyki.
[It's strictly neutral, but there's the slightest hint of sadness in her eyes. It's a genuine pain. Death hurts. All death hurts.
And while she doesn't like Tyki -- and considers him one of the biggest threats in Adstringendum -- she knows he loves Rhode, very much. And that means her loss hurts.
She took satisfaction in it once. She won't ever again.]

Ah, ah, ah~♪ I specifically recall telling you lot to spare me the comments serving me right. That extends to comments that turn my words against me.
[His tone changes to something like a parent would use when tucking their child to bed; except Tyki somehow manages to make it sound condescending at the same time.] Come now, Lady Rei. You should take more care of yourself and sleep.
["It will all be over soon."]

She is also sorely tempted to remind him that part of the reason she hasn't been able to sleep is because of his darling little niece who just died, but...
Well. Allen's reminding her to hold her tongue.]
I'm not telling you that it serves you right. I didn't want her to die.
[Totally and utterly honest.]
... what are you going to do?

Fight me instead. [Because I couldn't save her. I didn't realize she was in danger.]

...You're likely to end up dead too.

I just want to know what he sounds like without a tongue. [And maybe a heart. And one less eye.]
