[ He knows it, she knows it, but none of them are really saying it, that yeah, Erik is completely vulnerable in this situation. There's the only strength he carries, and that's his ability, but beyond that, there's no maps, no routes or areas he understands, nor a clear cut threat in the location beyond that of Aria, and the name is only vaguely familiar to him after one mention from Jack a while ago.
He catches the gun effortlessly, flipping it around in his hand, the metal familiar, warm to the touch, but then again, when it isn't it. The significance behind it isn't lost upon Erik, who knows that Jack is giving him a piece of crap, small as it is compared to the rifle behind her, but still, she's giving him some of hers. His hand slips around the handle, finger on the trigger and he points it straight at her. ]
Thanks, bitch. [ A little cocky, but he'd never deliberately shoot her, not when there's enough violence in between them and Erik's suffered his own round of bruises at her hands. It's unfortunate he's put himself into this position, where he's completely at her mercy and guidance, but Erik isn't about to simply roll over and succumb to that. ]
Except you're not getting this back.
[ He tucks the gun into the back of his pants, just because his clothes don't exactly afford any other place of security and then finally, finally after this dumb little banter and standoff, Erik glances around at the shithole they're in. ]
So much for the grand tour. [ But no really, he isn't asking for one. Maybe. If it comes with places to fuck her. ]
