[You could. And that's all he's admitting to right now. Still, he weakens a little at Claire's concern, even smiling- and it's a much more vulnerable smile than normal too, lacking any of its usual bitter, sneering quality. The other man could see through any false bravado easily, he's sure of it... and besides, he's feeling oddly comfortable laying his unease so bare before him. He trusts him with it.]
[clapping a hand to his shoulder] It'll hold up. Not that it'd do much good even if it was completely perfect. [he leans in, lowering his voice] Just a heads up, Claire. He might be all smiles right now but deep down he's just a fuckin' shark bearing his teeth- he fights dirty. Expect him to do it tonight.
