[ true. the loyalty to skye's a point of contention, if anything, but it's one of very few consistencies when it comes to grant ward. fitz doesn't respond, though he seems somewhat appeased by the answer. he waits until ward's moved to the bathroom to pick up one of the lock picks, stepping over to the open doorway and watching ward as he inspects the ceiling.
he turns his attention to the comms a moment later, then seems to think better of it, turning away from ward entirely and heading back into the other room as he starts to tinker with the device. it takes him several tries to loose one of the panels; longer than it should, really, and he tries to keep the effort out of ward's line of sight. ]
They must've abducted you for a reason.
[ half petty, half thoughtful, very belligerently not concerned. and then, almost as an afterthought but with deliberate finality (and definitely petty): ] You can't come back with us.
