It's a good job that Kevin is moving, because the force of will behind those words were almost enough to have him diving for the knife again. Kevin gets him in a hold before he can, and though he struggles against it he doesn't break free.
He knows what Kevin is talking about but can he? Really? Pushing it through the link it's meant to flow through is one thing, but withholding it? Stopping her from taking it? Is it really possible?
He stumbles as he's shoved aside, spins ungracefully at the sound of the yell and almost loses his footing, too focused on making sure that Kevin hasn't been hurt.
The knife is out of his reach now, his hands the only weapon, but just as he starts towards Kevin again he suddenly feels arms wrapping around him from behind, holding him tight. Du Pusa - the other two minions are out cold on the floor and she's using all her strength to hold him back from getting to Kevin.
He whispers a thank you, a plea to keep holding even as he fights against her, and he closes his eyes, stops trying to fight the command but also stops thinking about it, instead he focuses all his energy, all his willpower on the link, on turning off the proverbial tap.
