[ Tennal is used to his own defiance and the consequences of it. Given who he is - or at least who he’s related to - those consequences have been more likely to take the form of mind control to shut him down and take over his mind rather than violence. But violence has never been out of the question, not with either boarding school classmates or the army involved, and while Tennal isn’t a fighter he’s also not immediately cowed by it.
It shows in his eyes, a stubbornness setting in even as he gets grabbed. His hand closes around something and it’s only because he’s so very practiced at lying with his body language that he keeps from grinning. Instead he clenches both hands into fists, bringing them up like he’s going to try to throw a punch.
He doesn’t get the chance, a fact that’s probably more protective for his hands than for Bob’s face, before the guards are rushing in, pulling them apart and shoving Tennal towards his cell. ]
Yes, that certainly proves your sophistication.
[ Tennal realizes he’s shaking slightly, adrenaline and terror and satisfaction all blending together as he tries to get the last word in. ]
