[desperation is hot at Badou's temples, but it's not like the bad times, when his lungs ache and his blood forces itself to his brain all at once, making him wild and violent and thoughtless]
[after that knuckle-bruising hit, Badou's fists fall out to his sides, still tightly clenched, shaking, but not going after the boy; his own eye is wide, terrified as well, as if he'd been the one who'd gotten a punch to the face after reanimation]
[Badou knows what fear for your life looks like, because he's seen it and worn it more times than he can even count, can even remember. seeing it in Gau, a part of him thinks finally because this place was never to be trusted, no one should have been, and another part of him thinks shit because that look is on him, and he doesn't want it there, it hurts and it makes him even angrier, even more incoherent]
[he doesn't move forward again, standing rooted to the spot with the latter emotion -- maybe this is where a hug would come, or a round of tears, or a babbled I was I was so fucking worried, but all he can miserably blurt out with fear and anger making him twitch and shake is]
