"I wouldn't like that either," Lisa says, letting herself be carried away by the sweetness of that smile while Tony and Kevin both note the dark expression that preceded it.
And this thinks Kevin, despite being no more telepathic than the Sight allows, is why we don't tell vulnerable adults that their legal guardian slash abusive lover was planning to murder them.
He wishes, not for the first time, that their tiny unit had someone with VLO training.
"Maybe you can find a compromise where he only lets you win a little," he says. "Now some of us have work to do."
He'd invite Lisa to stay - Quill said she didn't have much to do right now - but he'd just have to watch to make sure Xie didn't hurt her, and he needs to be doing something more productive.
