With the not so subtle backhanded compliment, he could see her trying to hide her smile, and let out a small laugh that turned into a cough. His body hurt, but he didn't really care right now, it just felt good to have the acknowledgment the smile, however meaningless. He was about to say something, but the door to their cell opened, and a unhappy looking Samuel walked in, carrying a clipboard and apparently a grudge. Slamming the clipboard on the bed by Faelan, Sam just looked at him with disdain before he even started his rant.<br/><br/>"What kind of dumb shit do you have to be Faelan, we've got your own signature on this paper saying you'd lay off the alcohol or be banned from the experiment, and you damn well know it. You don't know how many fucking strings I had to pull so they didn't fucking chop you up before you were out of the Pit."<br/><br/>He gestured towards the clipboard a lot, and Faelan figured it held the Foundation's copy of his agreement forms. He knew full and well getting drunk was against the regulations of the project, they didn't want his buzzed mind getting overpowered by Shula, but even despite her holding her liquor, the bond didn't seem to change more than becoming more open.<br/><br/>"It's real kind of you to be sucking some cocks for me Sammy boy, but as you can see, even wasted I kept my mind under my control. You pencil pushers can right fuck off with the 'rules' because I'm testing this bond for me, not for you guys. Besides, we killed that damn thing. Which, by the way, the fuck was that thing, I haven't seen something like that before."<br/><br/>Sam stayed quiet for a second, brooding with unparalleled success. With a pause, he looked like he was about to say something, but caught himself. "Get your shit together Faelan, they aren't giving you a third chance, not with that demon bonded to your mind so strongly now." With a picturesque turn, he stormed from the room without glancing back, not even bothering to pick up the clipboard as he left.<br/><br/>"What a little bitch Sammy is when he's angry," Faelan grinned at Shula.
