[ Venom's said it to Dorian before: casual murder attempts as a bonding exercise is nothing new in his line of work, so he doesn't take the broken ribs or bruised organs as anything other than a routine struggle between people capable of violence. Still, he can appreciate that that's not the norm for others, so he doesn't press when Nyx turns away and casts his gaze at everything aside from Venom and his XO.
He'll need some time to work things out. It's only natural.
They all do, between the chaos and the heartache and the guilt, but hammering that in is like driving rusted nails into an already-sealed coffin. Venom doesn't doubt that they'll all come together in the near future for something far less somber than this, so he lets his faith do the talking for him.
Which is to say that he's silent in his acquiescence. He nods, makes sure that Nyx has a solid hold on Dorian, before crouching down to heft Kaz gently up in his arms. Sideways, across his chest.
