His face reddened, glancing from one annoyed expression to the next, his hands twisting, "I had to at least try to save the darn thing..." He sagged, staring at his hands, "I'm glad you're alright," He managed weakly.
It had been a strange, remarkable experience. He was still pumping with adrenalin and booze, his mind caught up in the music that wasn't there any more.
"And... and besides! That... that worked better than just... just shooting at him!"

Jordan stood again and offered Candace a hand up. "Sorry. Thanks for coming to help." If he spoke to Jerry right now he was going to yell; he kept the low internal snarl of irritation to himself.

The smile he'd worn for Candace faded immediately as he turned to Jerry.
"It got away. I don't know how that worked better than just straight up ******** murdering the things. Which we could have done given time. But no, your ******** tiny guitar is more important than anything else. What if it had turned you on us? What if it had just ******** killed you? You got off light."
He crossed his arms. "If this was my kingdom, there'd be words. Making decisions affects everyone around you. Not that you'd care."
Yes. Only the queen got to make decisions without regard for other people. They were outranked.

The help up was accepted and she rose to her feet with a slight wince, straightening up and reaching back to rub at her lower back. She'd be okay, she was just really sore. She'd never been trampled before.
"Yeah, no problem. What the hell was up with that thing? Did they escape from the Sun course or something?" If that was the case then there was really something to be concerned about. s**t.
Jerry said..he had to save the ukulele.
She wanted to hit him.
"You did not have to save it, Jerry. It was a goddamn instrument. Yes, I know, music is important to you but..damnit, Jerry. You can buy another one." She hissed and put a hand on the closest shoulder to keep herself from completely bending over, rubbing her back again. "If you had just listened to me, we could've destroyed it, and none of that would've happened."

Jerry gaped at them as though Candace was the one being unreasonable, his hands balling into a fist and then unclenching again. "Okay... okay... maybe I should have just left it... but... I mean... I... I sorted it out didn't I? And... and it was d-destroyed anyway," His eyes were watering, smearing the dirt on his cheeks from the fight on their way down.
"B-by the time you were down I HAD to keep going!"

He rubbed his temples. "Oh great, now he's ******** blubbering."

s**t. "Guys, stop." Candace groaned, covering her eyes with one hand.

Jordan closed his eyes for a moment, took a controlled breath, and then opened them again. "Candace, do you want help getting back to your room?" he asked. "I think I'm just going to go back to mine." He glanced at Rep, his expression unreadable.

"Look- look, I'm sorry ok?? Are you happy??" Anger bubbled up in Jerry's chest, and he couldn't help himself.
Just stop. You're doin' a great job of chasing them all off. Roar was a patient growl in the back of his head, but that only helped put a rise to his panic.
"I'm sorry!"

"Yeah well good." he snorted. "Even if it won't fix your ******** entirely."
He raised a brow at Jordan and took another drag of his cig. "Okay. I'll see you later?"

Jerry apologized and Candace frowned. He apologized a second time and she sighed. All of her energy from running in to help with the fight was draining away with every argument. She just wanted to go to bed and forget today ever happened.
He could have gotten them killed. The last thing they needed was more death.
"It's fine, Jerry. I get it. You're sorry." She glanced at Jordan and then to Rep before turning to give Jordan a nod. She didn't necessarily want or need help but it could be a good idea, and she didn't want to be alone. Jordan also looked like he needed someone somewhat sane.
"Please."

Jordan nodded to Rep. "Don't stay out here too long. If that thing wants a repeat performance, it can do that itself." He turned back towards the dorm, offering Candace his arm by way of support.
