[ He leaves him be while Kobra goes off to scavenge up some grub, since he's well are that both of them know Party is not done vocalizing his worry in affectionate insults. But they have all the time in the world.
He watches him, finishing off that cigarette and furrowing his brow. ]
Son of a bitch. Knew that asshole was a rat. [ Though, to be fair. not like Party actually trusted a lot of people.
He's already planning a way to find his sorry ass. You don't doublecross Party Poison or his crew. You certainly don't almost kill the Kid.]
Ghosted the ones I could see an' went in circles 'til I was sure they couldn't possibly be tailin' me.
[ He doesn't bother to stop eating, instead talking around the food in his mouth. Next time he's bringing something to eat with him, not that he really had time for a snack break. ]
Should've known he couldn't be trusted when he resisted my charms, right?
[ There's a little grin with the joke, like they don't both know that he's just trying to distract Party and change the subject. ]
[ And they both know that that's not gonna work; Kid doesn't get much more than a deadpan look, one of many from Party's bountiful collection.
He rolls his eyes and steps up to a boarded up window, looking through one of the uncovered spots. ]
Fuckin' told you that guy had bullshit written all over 'im. But yer stupid ass still went solo. Goddamnit, Kid.
[ Party being Party in a somewhat mellow tone, in the very least. At least he's not yelling or calling him something worse. The possible threat of a raid put that thought in the backburner. ]
[ As far as Kobra's concerned, he's fine, but it's not like he isn't used to Party by now. He's not going to sit here reassuring Party when he knows Party won't listen, but he's not going to play up the situation, either. He'd rather just move on. It's not like he hadn't had his own reservations, but there aren't exactly a lot of reliable and trustworthy people around outside of their little family. ]
Yeah, if Pumpkin's gone rogue, who knows who else he might go after next. D can warn everyone else he might be tryin' to work with.
[ He puts his can on the table, spoon sticking out the top, and leans down to open his boot and finally assess the damage. ]
Fuck no. D gets the word out an' that sun of a bitch bails. Gotta get D's people checkin' for dracs.
[ Because Party's taking care of Pumpkin himself, thank you very much.
After a few seconds of eyeballing the horizon, he finally steps away from the window and towards one of the backrooms. And smacks Kobra upside the head on the way there, for good measure. ]
[ He barely flinches at the smack, because Party's behavior is hardly new to him and he's had worse, but as far as he's concerned, he'd handled the situation the best he could. Party can't really expect him to be safe all the time and not try to get information when the opportunity arises. No one important died, anyway, so no harm done. ]
Yeah? Where're you goin' while Jet patches me up?
[ Because hell if he's letting Party go out all angry on his own right now. This is his unimpressed face, bro. ]
[ He can't expect Kobra to be safe all of the time, but that doesn't mean he's happy when Kobra's in danger. As much as he's not exactly the best person at communicating, Kobra is still not only part of his crew, but his brother. And, despite how much of an asshole Party Poison is, he takes care of his own. A lot of people know that laying a hand on Kobra Kid means that Party Poison will definitely be gunning for them soon after.
He grumbles something in response, scavenging around in the supply room. He comes back out and smacks a bottle of water down on the counter by the blonde, turning to move towards the manequins, apparently to get some of his gear on. ]
[ It's sporting a new scorch mark or two, but he doubts anyone would consider that worth noting.
He take the bottle and drinks some of it slowly. There's no point in drinking so fast that he can't absorb any of it and he's definitely at least a little dehydrated. ]
Plannin' on takin' it somewhere?
[ Party can have whatever ideas he wants, but Kobra's not letting him run off by himself all guns blazing without backup, especially not when he's being all emotional and moody about it. ]

At least take Ghoul with you if you're gonna go on a man-hunt. Gonna get yourself ghosted like a dumbass if he's got protection.

[ Says the one who's...yeah. ]
G's gonna have t' keep an eye around here t' make sure they didn't trail ya.
(a million years later...)
[ Kobra pushes himself to his feet, ignoring the pain, and hobbles towards Party like he's ready to tie him down if he has to. ]
Re: (a million years later...)
You don't be an idiot. What are you gonna do, tie me down?
[ Well. ]
