[ The no makes him want to growl back in response, or shove his brother away, but he's too busy filling his lungs with air again, brain fog slowly creeping away. He's beginning to feel steadier, the world isn't spinning so much.
But the pain in his arm? That's building still, as the petrification slows stubbornly, creeping inch by inch downwards until it reaches his wrist. Where it stops entirely, not yielding any further. And the pain becomes overwhelming, like acid under his skin, boiling away down to his bones. His hand feels alive underneath the stone but in the worst way, and he makes a noise and finally puts force into his push, twisting his body to get them to let go and to push them away. ]
Enough!
[ For their benefit both and so the pain in his hand doesn't make him lose what he ate that night. He hisses as he holds it, the new skin of his arm aching and uncontrollably as well. Before it becomes totally manageable, however, he's looking at Joshua, angry. ]
And you accuse me-! Come down!
[ If his voice is watery it's because he's ANGRY and not because he's crying as well because if his brother keeps going- ]
