The man brought his fingers to his mouth as she spoke, licking at the blood to try and get it to stop flowing quite so freely. Damnit, he hadn't actually expected that to hurt as much as it did. Rhiannon's presence was whimpery in an attempt to be soothing, apologetic for no particular reason. It irritated him. It wasn't as if it was her fault that he'd been injured. His orange eyes flicked back to Marie's face as he sucked contemplatively on a finger, letting her little tirade come to a full close. It might seem like her words were just floating over his head, but he was truthfully considering them all equally.
When she finished, he removed his finger and gave her a small nod. "That's all true. But I'm the only Card out there who knows what it means to be a Weapon, and I at least don't have to worry that some selfish decision on the part of a Card who doesn't care about their life will result in my poofing." as she smoothed her skirts out he watched her go, head inclining to the side. "I'll be sure to send some prisoners down for you."
Apocalypse felt comfortable in what he knew. He would die, yes, but he would do so on his own terms. He would do so after finally knowing what it meant to be alive.
That was more than enough for him.
