[ no fight comes. no swing at him, no kick, nothing.
evan pulls his boots back on without taking his eyes off david and notes the way that even with the little trembles of weakness, there's no faltering. he gets his clothes and drags them back on with barely-restrained violence, and without a word. evan doesn't interrupt him as he reaches for his mask, but doesn't pull it back on yet.
if he was yelling, fighting, throwing a fit, that would be normal. understandable. but the absolute silence and refusal to even try and attack him makes evan's formerly-banished thoughts come floating back to the surface. he knows rage in all its forms, and knows that someone prone to explosion is twice as deadly when they've gone quiet like this. it's something he does. seeing it in david is new.
he lets him leave without a word or trying to drag him back. he doesn't even follow him into the workshop right away, instead picking up the rope from where it fell and coiling it back up.
he's not prone to doubt or uncertainties all that often, but as he heads back into the light of the workshop, he wonders whether there's lines he should be aware of.

even if that would be stupid. ]
