Ouroboros Spine under divine law of the opus magnum

Even though I feel like crap I keep wanting to reply to this, haha.

He wouldn't back down to her. Not now, perhaps not ever. To him, she had already proven her incompetence through behavior alone. It was hard not to be increasing angry with her, to not simply charge in and push her down and force out every ounce of submission he could get from her. It was probably what he should have been doing, rather than listening to the snippets and the snarls out of her. But he was reluctant to make that first move, to start something that he wasn't sure he wanted to find out what the end was. He couldn't let antagonism be the reason for it.

“No one is trying to push you out of the Spine,” he told her, more troubled inwardly by that statement than anything. Did she really think he would drive her from their home? Though he could not recall it, he knew inherently that she had made such a thing known. Just he felt she knew that there was no way she would push him to submit to her. They didn't have time for this, he realized. And if not both of them, then he didn't have time for this. It was nonsensical at this point in his eyes.

“You need to stop this, Cara. You're being foolish and it's only going to hurt you further.” Maybe talk was useless, but he genuinely did not want to resort to violence to handle her. It was a last resort of last resorts; her incoming responses would only let him know what he needed to do next.
