You are Macaque, and you are irritated.

MK just accused you of something -- what, you can't even say -- and took off despite that he was turning to stone at the time. How did it even start? He demanded to know whether you were really over Wukong, which-- caught you off guard. Technically yes, but only because Donnie snipped some connections in your brain...

And here you'd just apologized for being distant before. But whatever is going on with MK, it was it difficult not to give into the irritation that you're feeling. The void where feelings should be is probably not helping, but there was a momentum to the conversation and it seemed to be dragging you along like a riptide.

Maybe it was that you were irritated that he hadn't told anyone that he was turning to stone. That you asked him to trust people to care about him. Irony of ironies.

Still, still, you're not going to let him turn to stone. You may be on each other's last nerve -- or, more accurately, bumping up against the void in your feelings, but you still care about him. You're not going to let him turn to stone.

So you grab the antidote through a portal, and open a second one onto MK's nimbus. Thrusting the potion through it in a tight fist.

"Take it," you insist. He does, and then he tells you to leave him alone, more or less.

So you do. And then you scrub at your face, wondering what the hell just happened.
