If I were there, I'd do some breathing exercises with you.
I'm not in trouble. At least, I'm not in what I would consider to be trouble. Shaw is keeping a close eye on me because I was suddenly and wildly violent. I WAS the aggressor, Malcolm. Avalon didn't have a weapon and wasn't physically threatening me.
Verbal is different. Verbal threatening allows for time to let the people in charge do things. And as much as I pretend sometimes, that's not me.
[ That part's more for Shaw than Malcolm, admittedly. But it probably doesn't hurt Malcolm to hear it every so often. ]
Shaw is watching me to make sure I don't have a relapse, I imagine, but also to make sure Avalon doesn't have a chance to attack me. She's protecting me, too. She's not even restricting me, she's just going with me where I go.
And it's not forever. So calm down, okay? If you can. I do know that's tough for you. But it'll be all right.
