Emil actually stepped toward Russel when he sank, hands slightly raised like he didn’t know what to do with them. Now he started to panic - did he really make this guy lose enough blood to pass out? Was this what so many authority figures warned him about, you only thinks it’s funny until someone gets seriously hurt?!

“Jesus man, calm the fuck down!” Emil tried to cover his own impending freak out with annoyance. What if Russel really gets sick, he’ll have to carry him to the nurse’s office and explain things and oh God does purposely inducing a nosebleed count as assault? Is it criminal?! “Stop being a drama queen, you’re not gonna die.” If he had the energy to scream, it meant he wasn't about to black out, right?

Right??

He just kept… standing there like an idiot, unsure how to act.
