' did they paint you in party city ? ' / commodus, stop rn
a low grumble . a moment of pause as he allows the regret to sink in . he’d been to party city many times during his life . in the past , it had become a major part of being able to do his job . having worked as a clown meant party city was a regular destination for arthur . but it was now a symbol for who he used to be . to joker , it was a reminder of his past weakness . it was for this reason that he now found himself to be straining to hold himself back from attacking the other . his grip on his cigarette growing tighter , subconciously .
but soon with a roll of his eyes , he leans forward and presses the end of the cigarette onto the back of the other’s hand , with intention to burn him . he found it silly he’d even been holding himself back in the first place . he’d forgotten himself for a brief moment . a flicker of .. restraint .
