Chris is already fighting with their anger, and hearing First Aid tell them not to be mad has the opposite effect. They stop at the door to the room where they'll do First Aid's repairs, and fumble a bit with the getting it open because they're so mad that their hands have started to shake. Their next words are sharp, tone harsh,
"What a surprise, Vika couldn't control herself. Got any other breaking news for me? Maybe about water being wet?"
They jerk the door open and usher First Aid inside. Then Chris turns a glare onto Vika.
"I try to help you, Vika. I try to understand you and defend you to others, and all that ever gets me is people I care about being insulted, hurt, and killed." Their voice shakes, too. "The next time you want blood on your hands like you're always so proud of, just come and beat the shit out of me. At least then, I won't have to deal with the aftermath of your latest round of bullshit."
They don't slam the door after them, but only just.
