Venus knits her fingers through his, roots through the earth of his hand. She turns her head and raises her eyebrows, a smile that's a bit worried. On one hand, she does find it upsetting, like a fist tightening inside her stomach, to think of how the weight and stress of the Arenas is turning this crew of friends against each other - and yet there's no doubt she'll sleep easier at night knowing that the Peacekeepers aren't about to come shoot up everyone in the Suite. Little as she cares for her own safety, she cares for that of Enjolras and Kankri, and to an extent for Diana and Shepard.
"Boys," she says, shaking her head, and she rolls her eyes in a way he's sure to see. Somehow, she feels as if she's laid claim to these motley Frenchmen, the ones she's grown deeply fond of as if they were her teammates. Closer than that, maybe, because even though the threat of death is still so close, even in a situation where they may have to kill each other (and in her and Enjolras' case, have done so), there's been a certain organic affinity that has come up between all them. She feels protective, in a way. Upset at turmoil among those she would eagerly call her friends, at this point. Upset that her closest friend is upset enough to punch her other friend.
"If you don't think it would embarrass him, I can talk to Joly about those attacks he has. I used to have them all the time, I know some tricks."
Her other boys await. She leads rather than pulls him, closing the door behind them, and heads for the elevator. They'll meet Maximus and Wyatt at the ground floor.
