[ standing and running would be the smart thing to do, that's for certain, but he's made a point mentally that he is going to get quentin out of this trial alive. so it's time to get a little reckless. ]
You go on. [ david stands, eyes on trapper, backs up a few steps so he's close to that pallet inside as that big bastard approaches. more importantly, making sure he's solidly between quentin and the killer. ] I'll catch you up at the gate, yeah?
[ Standing and running is the smart move. Standing and running is what he's trying to get David to do by tugging on him to move. ]
What? [ It's incredulous. He shouldn't be stupid. Quentin backs up too, since he was practically glued behind him, with quick uneven shuffling steps. He looks up at the pallet then at David and releases his grip on his shirt, backing up more so he wouldn't dare be in the way if that gets thrown down. ]
Are you fucking serious? [ This guy. David's squaring up to this seven-foot tall monstrosity of a man apparently. David King is insane. And he massively respects that. ] If you don't, I'm coming back for you. [ Less of a warning and more of a factual statement. ]
[ trapper hesitates, that moment most killers have where they're trying to judge if they can get to the survivor before they throw down the pallet. a mistake, really, because the hesitation makes it all the easier for david to judge the timing and slam it down on his head when he lunges. ]
[ man those stun noises are always so satisfying. ]
Good. Go!
[ he hisses at quentin, this close to shoving him if he doesn't move. david can probably keep trapper occupied a while, figures if most of his traps got used to bully quentin, there can't be many in chase routes. david's not some god-tier looper, but without his kit trapper's not that hot in a chase either. ]
[ Quentin's backing up further, quicker, while there's that moment of hesitation. He didn't turn around yet, watching watching-- when the pallet comes down Quentin let's out a loud: ]
HA!
[ Then turns to actually listen to David and make a run for it. Lingering and antagonizing Trapper while David is trying to take the attention off of him is not a good idea. Not one bit. He does an entirely awkward hop-step around the lodge as he goes through it, narrowly avoiding the trap right in front of the fireplace he noted had been there earlier. He exits through the opposite side. ]
