[Sylvain's head snaps to Felix, eyes wide and angry. There's a fire there in his eyes, and it looks all the worse as his lip curls to say something in response. He can't see how any of this is appropriate -- it feels like Felix has run in with oil to pour on the inferno raging within Dimitri, and it's agonizing when Sylvain has been desperately trying to tap it down with water.]
Felix -- [But his mouth snaps shut when Dimitri speaks. His gaze flashes back to him, and from here Sylvain's hands lift to cup Dimitri's cheeks. He smooths his thumbs over the skin there.]
They aren't going to take me anywhere. You protected me, and they are gone now. [A hand traces back into his hair.] Just breathe, okay.
[Now his gaze does shift back to Felix. There's still an edge to his gaze, but with Dimitri still coming down all the same, he can swallow it down. The longer he stares, the more that edge dulls, then softens, even.]
We need to move. I am certain they will send reinforcements. Or at least attempt to catch us unawares. [Regardless of their tactics, he knows Felix will agree that exposing Dimitri to further conflict won't help.]
