"Okay," Lochlann said.
That was his word today. Okay.
Maybe if he said it enough times, he could convince himself that everything would be okay. That this might work out okay. That he would be okay.
The pointed comment about being shoved into walls wasn't missed by Lochlann.
He probably should apologize. It would be the decent thing to do. It would be best to take accountability for his actions to the man that he'd just asked to delve inside his head and scare him to shitless.
Instead, Lochlann just shrugged and said, "It'd be a whole lot worse if people found out."
His comment could go a few ways: a passive agreement (yes, it'd be bad for both of us!) or a subtle threat. If Lochlann was willing to shove him into a wall for this...well, he let Sabe pick up the pieces.

It was his manta today.
Okay. It'll be okay.

What was this?
It wasn't a deal. it was barely an agreement.
