[Nope. Wrong response. The shift is pretty instant and visible; Michael goes from cautiously aggressive to completely afraid. He thought he was ready to defend himself, but he isn't, the wording sets off too many alarm bells all at once. "It isn't going to hurt." "Don't make this difficult."]
Don't-
[He can't even articulate it. He wants to run but he's convinced Law could catch up to him in no time. His hands come up to the sides of his head, the knife now clearly visible as the flat of it is resting against his temple.]

[It's a warning and a threat, and one he knows Law will understand. The Visitor is clamoring for release, and for once- no, this makes twice now, doesn't it?- their thoughts are fairly aligned: Law is dangerous and he's going to hurt them. The howls it makes don't really translate to words, but if he had to, Michael would say it meant something like, allow me. And he is very close to saying yes. It... might be more a matter of when than if.]
