[ david's gotten pretty good at respecting evan's space, his things. even avoids stealing from him unless he's certain this is the only place he can get something. doesn't disarm more traps than he absolutely has to to get around, and never breaks them. there's something tenuous there, a kind of mutual decency that he'd like to maintain if he can. ]
[ which is all what david would've thought before that last trial. before trapper threw him up on a hook with a terse reminder that david owes him, as if he'd fucking forgotten. maybe it was a rough one for him, or maybe david was just especially annoying that time, he doesn't know, but he does know that something about it pissed him off enough that he wasn't even afraid to die while he hung on that hook. all he'd been able to think about at the time was wishing he could just pull himself off and smash the bastard's head in with a rock. how fucking dare he. ]
[ and david tries not to carry that shit with him once a trial's over, sometimes even successfully, but this time? this time he storms over there the second he's back at the campfire. this time he makes a point to break the traps he has to disarm to get down the mine. if there was a way to wreck them so bad it would be impossible to repair or reforge them, david would with no hesitation. ]
You in here? [ david calls when he makes it to the workshop, assuming sooner or later he'll be seeing an angry trapper ready to take his head for the disrespect, but david doesn't care about that. ]
