[ evan pauses just long enough to know he shouldn't when david follows him.
maybe it's the fact that this was out of nowhere for both of them. maybe it's just time and the entity weighing down on him. maybe he's just going insane (more insane, probably). or maybe he's getting soft. unable to deal with the dangerous truths that david might not realize he's laying out at evan's feet.
all things he doesn't want to deal with, and can if he just walks away. ]
Just take this and get out.
[ you win, he thinks dully, but maybe it won't be the same as before. maybe david'll brag and maybe he won't. evan heads into the trees, where he knows where all the traps are that he needs to avoid and david ... probably doesn't, but can probably find his way through. he's done it before. ]
