Gen does looks startled by the information that Misa dumps on him, responding with a wide-eyed blink at first. Looks back down, gently tipping the bottle in his hand one way, then the other, watching tiny bubbles rise from the liquid with brow furrowed as he thinks. Then finally he responds at a low mutter: ]
... that's messed up. [ He gives a low exhale and takes another long swig of his drink (another third of the bottle gone in one go) before continuing, his voice tense but his words indistinct and somewhat mumbled. ] -- I know we're killing each other here. But swords and magic -- that shit all feels fairer. Like it makes sense in a way. Just shooting you like that ... that's fucked up.
[ Is he making any sense? He's not sure. It's hard to put into exact words how he feels about this. It's not like he's blind to the fact that guns exist and are just as effective here as they'd been back in 'the normal world' -- Eustace uses a gun, and that entire trip to Godsblood had been to help Amos acquire guns, after all. But still. To hear that 'Misa was shot' feels somehow colder, crueler than knowing that 'Amos wants to shoot the Pleroma.' Worse, somehow, than anything that was done to him or he's done to the Pleroma.
He'd been staring down at his bottle, not knowing where else to look, but Gen finally does glance up to fix his gaze on Misa's injured arm. ]
You're probably lucky to have survived, if you got shot twice. Especially if they were trying to kill you, not just hurt you.
