Oh good. Help, from this coy-faced gameplaying motherfucker. That's definitely on the roster of things Johnny wants and needs.

He jolts slightly when the lizard sort of melts toward Nova, moving like thick fucking liquid. He's not quite pinned but he'd have to make the gambit of pushing past the man to get to the lizard and that's not something he thinks he wants to try.

"Don't-" he starts, catching himself with a shaky breath. Nova has gone very still under the eye of the other creature, not quite so overtly afraid, but then she's a rabbit and this is what rabbits do, they sit paralyzed waiting for the moment where it'll be too late to run. Dumb little fucks.

"What do you want from me," he grits out, looking back up at the man's peering eyes.
