Phoenix could feel his body tense as Venom had managed to decline their offer to talk matters over so easily. Such mixed messages made his head feel like it was spinning. What did Venom want out of this? What was the point of bringing up such important information if there was no follow through?
As a lawyer... No. As the person he was, he simply could not accept that.]
I don't accept it!
[Perhaps it was a bit off-putting, slamming his hands on the table before him, while everyone else was behaving so civilly. Maybe even more so since he was the one who mentioned acting like adults.
But he simply could not allow Venom to leave without an explanation!
Instead, he looked up at Venom, his eyes direct and determined as he attempted to meet his gaze.]
I don't accept that you're willing to walk away just like that. I don't accept that you are capable of saying such things without any reason or explanation. And I don't accept that you are so willing to stop our conversation on such an open-ended note.
There is obviously something you are hiding, some reason or explanation you don't seem to trust us with. And how do you think you can claim such feelings as if they are something sincere when you can't even trust me enough to talk to me?!
[And with that his shoulders relaxed. Sighing out heavily in hopes to control his own tone and temperament. Making sure that, with the next thing he said, he spoke softly and from his heart.]
Venom, those feelings... Do you mean them? Because if you do you have to learn that liking someone comes with trust and communication. It comes with being able to understand one another while mutually getting to know each other. Because there is a difference Venom, between loving someone and the concept of being in love.
And if you really do feel that way, the least you could do is respect me enough to give me an explanation.
