Out-of-tune?

[Because that's what he's most insulted by here.]

I am never out of tune.

[And then he strikes up a loud rendition of a slightly-off key Southern Nights. And look, if he succeeds in making him mad enough that he can actually break out and in return break him out, that's a win, right? Presumably avoiding slit throats.]

Southern nights
Have you EVER felt a southern night?
Free as a BREEZE
NOT to mention the TREES--

[ Peter will hear Royce kicking his barrier in frustration. ]

Ugh. You are the worst thing that could've happened. [ Royce grumbles loudly, covering his ears. ] I hope you know how long I can hold a grudge.

[zunesareawesome]

[He stops singing long enough to add:]

I'll take that as a compliment. And I'm so scared. [Well, he was, just not of cell neighbors.] Better add 'plus one grudge' to my list of things to watch out for.

[bywolves]

Please. Like I'd go after you. [ No, if he was really going to hold a grudge... ] I know you hero types well enough that you don't get upset until we go after the people you like.

[zunesareawesome]

[And suddenly his good humor's gone and he sounds dead serious.]

Is that a threat? You goin' after my friends?

[bywolves]

[ And that actually gets Royce to laugh, though it's weak. ]

No, I'm not. [ Chuckle. ] I'm saying I know your type well enough, is all. I'd like to think I'm not petty enough to punish you for being an idiot.

[zunesareawesome]

You'd like to think? That still sounds vaguely-threat-like, bro.

[bywolves]

It is vaguely threat-like. Congratulations. You've figured it out.

[zunesareawesome]

Still counts as a threat. I'm treatin' it as a threat.

[bywolves]

Okay. And what are you going to do about it?

[zunesareawesome]

...

[Hmm.]

Threaten you back?

[bywolves]

Sure. Hit me with your best shot.

[zunesareawesome]

I will...punch you in the face once we get out of here.

[bywolves]

Don't make promises you can't keep.

[zunesareawesome]

Oh, buddy, I'm keepin' this promise.

[bywolves]

[ Whether Peter can see it or not, Royce gives him a lazy, half-assed salute. ]
