What makes you think my goatee would betray me--forget it, it's hair, it can't betray you! This is stupid!

[How did he get caught up in this?!

And how did he get so caught up in it that his voice is loud enough to attract attention from outside? Which it has; the thump of passing footsteps pauses outside the closet door riiiight after he bursts out with that.]

[ yeah, she definitely hears that, and she takes a step behind leon. her hands on his shoulders, she quietly says- ]

Something's coming.

[babermetrics]

Yeah. Shit . . .

[His voice lowers automatically, now. Shit, why had he done that? That was so stupid! He starts to back them up, slowly, step by step, and stretches an arm out as if to shield Athena from whatever might burst in.

Like she couldn't totally kick his ass.]

[psycholawgy]

[ she whispers as quietly as possible— ] We should just keep quiet. Maybe it won't notice us.

[babermetrics]

[He just nods, giving her a look in the dark; it's hard to see like this, but he's frozen and wide-eyed, trying to keep his eyes on Athena and the door at the same time. It works about as well as you'd expect.

Those are definitely footsteps scuffling around outside.]
