[It's the Candle Cavern again, and here's Pyro with a message for you all. But this time, he doesn't look disdainful or angry - in fact, he looks somewhat uneasy, like he's standing on a precipice with toes curled around the edge and only one step away from changing everything.]

I know what you all think of me. I'm used to it.

[The beginning of a challenge? No, his voice softens to match his expression.]

But everyone faces a choice at least once in their lives where there's no other answer but doing the right thing. And yeah, even I can do that.

[And now he stares out earnestly, almost vulnerably.]

Euri... will you marry me?

[More out of character confessions! Is it another curse, or is this one for real? Break out the popcorn, folks. It'll be fun either way.]

There are more wars going on in Asgard than just the one we got kidnapped for. I took a direct hit, so I fired back.

[He sits back a little, looking deeply self-satisfied.]

Too bad it all had to go public, but she sets the bar high. Or should I say low? It's not easy to fight at her level.

Sorry, but the only one I'm seeing doing anything public is you.

[ He has a light and clear sort of voice, the sort that's generally very gentle, but it's terse and clipped. Rebuke, but just a bit too polite to be snapping. ]

I don't know what started this or what she possibly could have done to provoke it, but at least she had the decency not to embarrass you publicly and bring everyone into it.

Being so callous about a person's feelings and manipulating a thing like that...

That's the worst.

[He listens, looking rather bored, until the final statement makes his eyebrows shoot up.]

If that's the worst thing you can think of, you've had a pretty fucking blessed life.

[ "Blessed"... ]

I think you must have had a sad one, if you can't understand that.

Oh god, just don't. My life has nothing to do with this. Someone takes me on, I fight back. They fight dirty, I fight dirty. Choosing to just take everyone's shit tends to become hazardous to your health after awhile.

[ While it's so very ironically true that Allen can quite shamelessly adopt junkyard dog tactics when the situation calls for it -- ]

Please forgive me if even so, I find it hard to believe she could have done anything to warrant that sort of response.

[ It is when the situation calls for it. And, well --

It's from faith in Euri, too. ]

I'd say lying about being pregnant and calling her bluff by proposing are pretty much even ground. She's worse, really, when you consider that she lied about an actual fucking human life.

[ ...

Open mouth, close mouth. ]

I don't believe you.

[ Maybe he doesn't know Euri all that well, but...

Surely he doesn't not know her that badly. ]

She admitted it. You didn't rewind very far, did you? Told the whole network.

I don't care to. [ But his expression is -- a little uncertain. ]

Everyone deserves their privacy. [ If they aren't hurting someone else. ]

So you're not gonna believe me because you don't want to.

Excuse me if I really don't give a shit what you think.

No.

I don't know you, so I can't say anything about that. [ Other than his gut reaction is that he really doesn't like you very much, sir. ]

Because Euri doesn't seem like someone to do that sort of thing.
