The adrenaline slowly subsides as Adam tries catching his breath, sprawled on the floor and still holding Kacvinsky as tightly as he can. After a moment the terror that Adam was feeling at seeing the other climbing out of the window subsides, and Adam pulls back enough to glare at him, then punch him in the arm as hard as he can manage. "You idiot. You goddamned idiot! What the hell were you thinking, climbing out of the window like that?!"

He hits him again, this time softer, before wrapping his arms back around Kavinsky and holding him tight. Kavinsky was about to hurt himself if Adam hadn't recognized Cabeswater's warnings in time. "Don't do that again, you bastard. Don't fucking scare me like that!"
