He is swallowing hard as he could not see the fairness in this game the other was playing but at least one good would come out of it and that was the city being protected, a breath taken as hands fold over his chest and eyes meet the other’s as he is carrying on to say. “ I work for you that is perfectly clear I am a man of my word and I intend on keeping it “.
“We’ll see about that.” Or more specifically, Ky would test Oliver’s word to see how far it could quite possibly go. Just to find out the other’s… limitations. Then he would make it an effort to exceed them to the best of his ability. “You may be a man of your word now, but that can change. Even for you.”

ky tried to be early; this time, he was happy peter was late. with what he’d been doing with the spider, it forced him to change his plans, and take a few back routes to make sure he wasn’t being tracked. his suit was under his current clothes and his mask was in his pocket. maybe he’d actually tell peter the truth about what he did at night, but it was doubtful.
before ky even met peter, he’d never ware a mask at all. he’d show his face proudly and even more often than usual. sometimes even in his true form… all for the show of it all. since meeting peter… things had changed. he went out only when it was necessary and even made a suit for himself. something that would strike fear in most and keep his reputation up.
however, at hearing peter was jumped… all thoughts about what he did for amusement vanished from his mind. it just wasn’t the right time. never would be with the way things were turning out, but he would deal with whatever came in stride.
“you could have called me you know.” actually, ky wouldn’t have answered if he did, but it was the thought that truly counted in his mind. “maybe i could have been your knight in dark armor to save the day.” or, most likely just make things worse.
“— at least you’re still in one piece.” even if ky couldn’t say the same for the spider he had fought earlier. “so, that is a plus – i thought for a moment or two you got lost, but i wasn’t worried.” a lie, he would have been worried, but nothing a few dozen drinks wouldn’t cure. or even finishing off the spider, but that was another story entirely.
always leave it to someone idiotic to state the obvious. though, doomed wasn’t exactly the best way to describe their little situation. ky could in theory get them out of it, but he chose not to. for one, it wasn’t worth it, and two? he didn’t trust his companion enough to save them.
so, he’d keep his idea’s on how to get them out of this little situation to himself. just until the last moment or it was actually needed. deep down… he hoped it wasn’t. “unless you’re going to complain about the situation that’s your fault? mind doing something or do i have to do all the work?”

❝ Don’t you have anything better to do? ❞ He wasn’t going to respond to the question – not directly at least. ❝ Or does annoying me seem to be the only thing on your mind today? ❞
i’ve been at work for hours and the moment i got home i made THIS mistake.
