I do have a tendency towards being right, but no one is perfect so you may get the satisfaction of an “I told you so” if you stick around long enough.

[While Clive does say it playfully, he is anxious to measure how much Verso may actually want to stick around.]

I’m flattered. No one has offered to be the big spoon before.

[Honestly, if it would get Verso to sleep he would stay. At the very least, he wanted to make sure that the other man was comfortable enough to relax in a strange place, locked door or no.]

Maybe you should ask me that later when you aren’t covered in dried blood.

[Clive sets Verso’s shirt aside and examines his chest. Seeing the wounds he would normally wear, he sees how the concern of his companions could be so deep.]

Are you able to stand? We need to get your pants off.
