"Well you didn't do it well enough, did you?" Hickey snaps as he points at the now darkening skin around his eye. That 'leave him alone' sure didn't go over very well, considering he got beaten black and blue, huh Crozier?

"After you took the hit from Jopson," he says curtly. Get your timeline right, Hickey.

[friendsfordinner]

Forgive him for being a little muddled, getting your head beat in will do that for you!

"Here's hoping he actually listens."

"My worry isn't about keeping your eyes from blackening," he says dryly. "I don't want any murders here."

"In that case, worry more about your own than me," Hickey says, with a little shrug. "Again: I wasn't the one who started a fight. Believe me or not, but I am perfectly fine easing into a peace between us."

Because it would really piss off Jopson and the rest.

They’re not his own, not anymore really, but he wonders if his remaining ability to lead through what little credibility he still has left rankles Hickey. Just a passing thought.

“Peace, and not division,” he adds, feeling the need to say the point out loud. Division will kill them all, of this he’s certain.

"I'm not the one starting shit," he points out, one more time. Hickey gives Crozier a little shrug before,

"Have anything else to say? If not, piss off."

Oh, how badly he wants to lay into this man just like Thomas Jopson, but instead he take the cue and leaves. If he stays he will get them all into more trouble.
