Shutting the fuck up would unravel this entire exercise, and so Leander declines to do so, despite the intense radiation of hatred Nikos is probably exuding right now.

"Must we?" A question hints at submission. His gaze drops, too, to the bonds in question. How perfectly obvious. Were he closer, he might even reach a hand out and touch the ropes, like fondling them would help him decide—a false thrill for their captive, a glimpse of illusory pity skimming the surface. Alas, he's too far away, so the thoughtful caress of his eyes will have to do.

"Don't forget what happened with the last one," spoken over his shoulder, the latest chapter of an old argument. "He took far too long to die." Eyes back to Linus, but still speaking to Nikos, "It was inhumane. Can we not try it my way this time?"
