Talk:Mercury Black/@comment-27324112-20190112204315

Just a random thought (mild spoiler?)...

So I'm watching V6E9 and Tyrian says Mercury only knows "violence and pain", and only stays with them because he doesn't know how to deal with anything else.

Immediately before, he and Emerald were alone. She began to make uncomfortable questions and to get emotional and personal. How does Mercury shuts that down? By provoking her into a fight.

His father hated him (as he said himself in the same scene). Emerald began to talk about how Cinder cared for her (again, her words). Following Tyrian's line of thought, Mercury doesn't know how to deal with this sort of feeling. So he shuts her up by taking the situation in a direction he DOES understand: violence.

That's somehow obvious but I wanted to share it. Thanks for reading.
