[The sheer audacity of Tieria's words - not far from what was to be expected from him, sure, but still to hear it so vehemently - silenced Lockon for just a moment. From the tense lines of his body to his face white with fury, though, it was clear that he hadn't been cowed into backing down - he held Tieria's glare with one of his own, and when he spoke his voice began as a low growl, crescendoing into a shout that, while not rivalling Tieria's rafter-shaking previous, still managed to bounce off the walls .]
And that's your problem in a goddamn nutshell, isn't it? You keep trying to control everything you can find, like you're the ultimate authority on the whole world, and your opinion's all that matters. Let me bring you back to reality, Tieria, there's some things you don't have control over! People don't survive just because you decide they do! Your denial doesn't stop the Doctor being dead! Our comments couldn't stop him sacrificing himself! Locking me away from battle wasn't a great plan the first time! You can't control everyone else!
[The last one had almost slipped out unintentionally, his bubbling frustration finding an outlet in his tirade, but he was past caring. Tieria would have been far stupider than Lockon had ever thought of him to believe that Lockon was happy with being shelved in favour of Michael.]
