#calix asks

He does not know that she almost died. He doesn't assume she's dead, but does fear the worst for her safety. He can only imagine the punishment Quill will inflict on her for helping him try to escape and failing, and wouldn't be surprised if she did die. He recalls seeing her blood on the floor, of course.

Fallon is shaken by the news. As much as it delights her, she also just…can’t picture it. Not in the slightest. But once she gets past that, it’s like a weight lifted off her shoulders, and all she can feel is relief. It doesn’t occur to her to feel bad when she’s too busy feeling safe. It’s justice.

Calix is, initially, terrified. Somehow he worries that Quill will blame it on him, somehow this will come back to haunt him, that this is bad news for Calix. Until he really processes what this means. He, too, cannot picture Quill on his knees the way Calix spent most of his time. But it makes him…sad. He does, absently, feel safer, but he also wholeheartedly believes that no one deserves to be broken.

Calix nods hesitantly.
