If Ivan needed the shit beat out of him to feel better, Ryker might have obliged, assuming he was asked nicely. Instead, it was far more interesting to watch the derangement of the gilded detective of the CCD. Like watching a shining sword rust before their eyes, Ryker’s smirk was proud. Until the comment about their faces landed on dangerous ground.
Ryker did not laugh. No snort or smirk flickered his otherwise severe expression. Instead, he took a single step, mangled jaw set tight, eyes narrowed to mismatched orbs. The monster within crawled across his skin like a parasite eruption, ready to spring its claws at Ivan.
Instead, he stopped himself from retaliating. The insult was delivered with friendly banter, but Ryker would give the fledgling ally a chance to atone. The next insult would relieve him of his tongue, however. He did not take kindly to remarks about his disfigurement.
His voice scrawled deep and guttural, throat tense, teeth snapped. “Go find your doctor. Let’s find Yun Kao when you can see with both eyes again. You’ll need them.”
