[ she's not wrong. he's not even sure he can do it. but it shuts her up, which was the whole point, and in fairness he doesn't actually have to live up to his words. after all, he only said he might.
in silence, he works, almost able to forget she's there except for the sounds from her disassembling the engine and the knowledge of the closed trap she stepped into, so close at hand. evan manages to ignore both long enough for her to leave. when he turns around after a while, she's gone. the trap is still there and the car's slightly more busted than it was before. and the toolbox is there. her mark on his territory.
at this point, he'll keep to his word if other people do. she plays nice, and he'll be something resembling tolerant. but the toolbox grates on his nerves.
he leaves it be when he makes his way back to the mine, fairly certain that someone is going to run off with it. he makes sure to reset the trap before he goes, too. maybe she'll step in it again, and maybe she'll catch a thief. or he will. time will tell. ]
👍 make him suffer yui he deserves it
