[Darin was just mulling over some of his notes, about to bring a very very shaky cup of coffee to his lips when Lucio smacks it away.]
[He jolts, practically leaping through the ceiling.]
[That's not so much an exaggeration either. Being all hopped up on caffeine means Darin's a little lax with his power suppression. When he jumps, he literally smacks the ceiling with his back, then drops to the floor.]
...Yeah, well. I did want to fight him initially but it was how he took it and what I know of him. I don't think responding with violence will help him.
I don't want to try and do a show of power and treat him like an animal that's misbehaved.

Pour the brew. Down the sink.

[Darin gets up, shaking so hard that it looks like he might vibrate out of the visible spectrum, and pours all of the leftover coffee down the sink.]
[With a shaky sigh, he turns to Lucio.]
There...it's all--...what happened to your nose?

You? You're like the nicest guy I think I've ever met.

It's fine, why??
Wait, forget my chest. A mugging? Who the hell mugged you??
