[ This bandit seems to view everything as fun, or interesting, or part of some "game," but maybe 76 can use that to his advantage. If it means that the guy will also be loose-lipped about things, then he'll put up with his attitude.
Only to an extent, though. 76 does feel the flat of the blade press up against his side. He knows how easily it could become more than just a threat, but he doesn't expect the bandit can do much when he's cutting off at least part of his oxygen supply.
Besides, he doesn't feel that interested in being altruistic when the bandit reveals his knowledge that 76 had been among those abducted and tortured. Maybe he wasn't directly involved, but being in the know is almost just as bad.
Then the kid teases him with a "secret," and 76 reaches the end of his rope. With a growl (and one arm still pressing tight into the bandit's windpipe), he kicks at the back of his knees and pushes downward, forcing him to the ground. He shifts his grip around to grab him at the back of his neck and shoves his face into the muddy ground (which is very muddy, with how it's been raining). ]
I don't know, but you're gonna tell me.
[ The group from Olympia had been transporting the heart. They'd already been attacked? ]
