Hands that had balled themselves in to fists at his side as he stepped forward to press his point him, to hammer it at Riku to make him understand why repeating the same pattern over and over again would bring nothing but pain and resets and maybe more darkness.]

What?

[And, okay, so there was more to what Riku was saying and Quentin gets stuck on the 'even if you said please' part, like. He feels vaguely insulted and also, wants to argue the point that hey!]

What do you mean, even if I said please? That's not-- that's not a nice thing to say to people?

[Shut up, shut up, shut up!]

Nevermind, I sound like-- someone you know?
