"Yeah, well," says Johnny, eyes narrowing with contempt, "mine was made specially for me." So fucking kind of the rift, really. Considering him like that.
Meanwhile, Nova. She's still pinned under the lizard's claws and she's holding steady, surrendered, essentially, and there's a kind of give and take to them, Johnny's realizing, one of them has to be broken and one of them has to be stupid, that's how the balance works. He's got stupidity to spare and Rumpelstiltskin's still facing the wall.
He lurches back and snaps both hands out to grab the lizard at her sides, this is a fucking dumb idea but he's done it before, he knows how horrible it feels, and surprise is the only weapon he has. "Give me back my fucking rabbit," he growls.
