Damien's golden eyes narrowed and he knew what word is about to come out of Dee's mouth. Minoru can probably see that ebb of rage that gets crushed as soon as it rises.
Minoru wasn't getting the levity though and Damien's eyes turned on Dee. "If you ever finish that sentence about me you will NEVER play on this tour again."
This was serious and Minoru might be trying to stop this argument but Damien was looking to stop any future ones. He had a good grip on his temper, his training to kill, but he's not stupid. Even all his mental and physical control had limits. The Dog is afraid that finishing that sentence might push him over a line he doesn't want to cross any time in this universe.
Damien stayed quiet and stared down Minoru. "You never answered my encouragement by walking off in a huff or treated an offered hand like poison when you fell."
He bit back a lot more because the stress was higher now even thinking about the Ministry. His voice went calm and he addressed both of them. "I wish I could give you months or years or whatever but recent events convince me that we need to move that timeline up as much as we can." He looked at Dee. "Your safety is compromised now that fans know you can get pinned down when you're alone. I don't like it and I know you don't either."
It was all business, sort of kind, mostly nervous and distressed but that command to go to bed had him laughing, sarcastically maybe but it did break that tension a tiny bit. "I will as soon as I can get to the stairs without stepping on someone."
He had a point and though he could, he had no desire in the moment to start climbing all over.
