[ Mike knows they need to move from where they are, but the idea of it doesn't escape him without causing his jaw to tremble with anxiety. Just a little more. He can do that. He swallows back any complaint or noise that could be made in dismay. ]
Okay.
[ It's soft. He doesn't trust himself with much more than that. The fact that Matt and Frank haven't tried to take each other out is amazing. Anything else could teeter things over and upset a very delicate balance. Mike doesn't want that. Hell, he can't even think to handle that right now.
Still, the exhaustion doesn't keep him fully down when the home stretch is this close. It takes a few abortive attempts, but he shifts to try and get his good arm on the table, and push himself up a little to help. It's painful just doing that, and it has him panting softly when he does manage to get a up some. He waits for anything more from the two of them. ]
