salamanca: (tear out the walls)

[ Oh, Kimberly. This is why you get respected and Saul gets walked on. After all, Saul isn't the only one who knows Kim isn't wrong. Lalo surveys her, quietly at first. Seething. For a moment, he doesn't even smile. Hard to say if that's better or worse than when he does.

Unfortunately for both of them, regardless of whether she's right or not, currently Lalo really has no incentive to leave here this time. In fact, the last thing he remembers was her lecturing him about the Cayman Islands, and him turning and leaving abruptly.

And now he's here. He had been quite amused by the entire thing, but his patience is slowly wearing thin. Especially if, as Kim so adeptly pointed out, he is "just another sinner." Now, in addition to wanting more answers about just what exactly they remember right before arriving here, he suddenly feels compelled to throw his weight around a little. To remind her why she needs to take him seriously. Hell or not. Demons or not.

He can feel and hear Saul slowly creeping towards them both but he keeps directing his conversation to Kim. For now, anyway.

He taps the gun she had so derisively laughed off with one finger. ]
What? This little thing? I would never insult your intelligence. Of course it's not supposed to scare you.

[ There's a loose shrug and then, the easy smile is back. It's not one of his full-on trademark grins but it's creepy slowly back onto his face. His eyes glitter darkly. ]

This is.

[ He waits until Saul is in grabbing distance and then grabs him roughly around the shoulders with one hand, yanking him directly in front of Lalo. The other hand reaches for the gun, and there's a click as he cocks it. Then it's being pointed directly at Saul's head. He doesn't fire it, but Saul can feel the barrel brushing up against the side of his temple.

And yeah, sure, Lalo has heard talk that people here come back from death blah blah blah. But unless he has severely misjudged Kim and Saul and their feelings for each other, he doesn't think either of them is going to say 'yeah, sure, you can shoot my spouse in the head, that's fine'. And as much he's impressed by Kim's refusal to be intimidated, well... he still can't let her derail this conversation, after all. ]
