Ossie takes... a very deep breath, in the manner of someone struggling to be the bigger person. Because of course he's angry. Being used for someone else's purposes is the fundamental trauma of the Lost, as universal as birth.
But he can't snap like that, not when Bash is already cringing like a scolded hound. In some cases, what the person puts theirself through is more painful than any punishment that could be imagined. A punishment ends, but you have to live with yourself forever.
"You know, I've been used as furniture before, but they got my consent for that first, wot. This is... a first."
He pinches at the bridge of his nose wearily.
"I'm- please, if you will, just give me a moment to sort out how I'm feeling."
