If there was such a thing as fury in Lorne's ever receding emotional arsenal, that last comment would have sent all his sparks a-flying. What it does do, is send the demon into a fit of righteous indignation. He comes to a stop, blood literally boiling; of all the things he could have said, of all the pathetic attempts to weasel his way out of his own mess--
Eyes burning with resentment, Lorne can't keep his voice down, can't do anything to keep his voice in check.
"Boss?! 'Boss, please'? Please don't do this, Boss, I beg you?! I am not your boss, Fitz! Not even when I was did you have the decency to show me the slightest bit of respect!"
He didn't think it could be physically painful just to talk, to skate the line between yelling and having your voice crack from the strain of trying not to. "You're the single most loathsome thing to cross my path, did you know that? You're the kind of demon that gives everyone else a bad reputation, no matter how hard we try to be good people. You drag the whole community through the dirt, fuck the consequences."
The worst part of it all... Lorne will actually miss the stupid critter. "Fuck everything, as long as you get away reasonably unscathed."
It's time to go. It's time to leave before he changes his mind, chickens out and lets Fitz off the hook again. So, he does. Hat on, he hurries out of the too colorful apartment. Before it's too late.
