That does get Archer to pause for a moment. Kimblee has never yelled at him. But he's far too riled up at this point to care.
"Don't be fucking stupid, Kimblee. Of course I don't own you. I don't own you anymore than I owned Kimbley."
He waves a hand dismissively; that thought doesn't concern him at all.
"You're doing it again! Everything is my fault, isn't it? You don't even stop to acknowledge that I might have a fucking point to what I'm saying. I wouldn't be this upset if this didn't keep fucking happening! Every single time I screw up - and I'm not talking about the shit that happened in Goldendrod, where yes I can see why you'd need your space - I'm talking about the minor, daily things that get you to... to look so fucking irritated with me. You get frustrated with me so easily and it's like walking on eggshells around you to make sure I don't piss you off because guess what, you can just march out the door whenever the fuck you feel like it and I can't do anything.
"I'm not telling you to shrug off all the mistakes I've made! I'm asking you to stop being a manipulative little bitch. If I make one wrong move - one mistake - you're going to get back up on your high horse and fucking leave because you don't want to put up with this shit. Has it ever fucking occurred to you that I can't leave?"
Archer's voice breaks there and he shakes his head, taking a moment to breathe. He can't calm himself down now - he hasn't been this angry in months.
"I am completely dependent on you. I can't function without you around and whether you know that or not, the way you're treating me is manipulative. If you refuse to even try to work with me then fine. I'll return home. I hope I won't have any memories of this place."
