[ He opens his mouth almost immediately as if he's going to protest, but it's quickly smothered down by the fact he really isn't in any position to push Alex in person. Maybe he'll just stay around for a while and see what this is actually about. ]
You really couldn't think of anything else to do down here? [ Egil might even be frowning a bit, and just to test: ] No thank you.
There's plenty of other things to do down here. Where do you want to start?
[Alex's gaze is piercing, scrutinizing Egil like maybe he can get some answers if he looks hard enough. He chooses not to rise to the bait, having expected at least some resistance. For some reason the kid (hardly two years his junior, but a kid in his eyes nonetheless) seems dead set on being as obstinate as possible, so it would be foolish to assume he's going to be anything less now.]
You're the one who asked me to come here. Maybe you should tell me what else there is to do.
[ Now he's just being obstinate, disliking how easily Sorin had just decided to hand him over to Alex as if he didn't have a say in the matter, and sometimes, Egil questions why he's even here. He's still fighting the same way he'd been back home, which isn't going to cut it in such an enclosed space. He crosses his arms. ] If I do whatever you want, are you going to keep me around?
If that's what you want. [Sorin handed him over to Alex because that's where Egil can learn the most. Egil can pout all he likes, but Alex isn't budging, the clipped tones of his accent making him sound all the more stern. There's no need to fight here, which Egil might see if he ever bothers to give them half a chance.]
I brought you here to teach you something. If you want to jump ship the next time we dock, then that's up to you. I don't care. But you need to pull your weight while you're here. Understood?
