[A part of Murphy still wants to fight it. The calm, the warmth, the close press of connection. He feels like he can practically hear it, the echo of breath not his own, the drum of another heartbeat. Bellamy bears against the thrashing of his mind, stubborn and stupid to the last, and slowly, steadily, the memories sweep away. Dissipate like smoke into clear sky.
It leaves Murphy quiet. Wrung out from it, but his mind settled, his own. The difference is enough that he's barely able to comprehend where the furore of only a few moments ago had even come from, except for the one answer: not him. Not all him, anyway. The symbiote.
Frustrated irritation prickles alongside weariness, but doesn't spike any sharper. What's larger is low, soft discomfort from Bellamy still being so close inside his head. From what he'd said, and how Murphy doesn't really know how to respond.]
(You still don't know that we're going to get out of here.)
[Is what he manages, finally. Once he would have thrown promises back in Bellamy's face, immediate and scornful. He'd had first hand experience of how much bullshit all of Bellamy's good intentions turned out to be. But it's different now, even if Murphy still can't allow the vulnerability of accepting it directly. Bellamy's too close not to pick it up from his mind, anyway.]
