Sometimes, Liquid still can't believe how Snake had managed to fall for that. Once something they would have been able to pull off without a hitch with Decoy Octopus, fallen apart through circumstance, it was such a risky part of the ever-changing plan that could have ruined everything much earlier than it did finally crumble, and yet, well. He'd managed to string Snake along for quite some time.

If only everything had gone that well, maybe he wouldn't even be here.

After stating his case (and lying through his teeth) he figures it's about time to leave and even starts to take a step. So it's definitely sudden when he finds himself shoved into the wall, the surprise hitting him before he has a chance to even think about dodging the blow. With an indignant grunt, he sneers at his brother's unpleasant growling, and everything that goes with it.

"You are absolutely disgusting," he says, in about the most offended tone he can muster. He grabs at Snake's hand (paw?) and moves to shove it away. While he still needs to be better fed, he at least has the Sangui strength to go along with what he's got naturally.

"I don't expect you to do anything, brother," he hisses. "But I'd appreciate it if you'd keep your bloody dog slobber out of my personal space."
