The endearments, especially that one, are troubling but it's that last line which is most alarming. Nope, and now he's got another priority: keep this thing away from his head. So...recover tablet, put out fire/hope the sprinklers come on soon, run like a stabbed rat. Don't die, basically. What can he do to help that...

Glitch moves, based on the map of the shop in his mind. A sharp right, a leap over a pile of scrap, and he's at the counter where he was working on reorganizing the chemicals cabinet. Mineral acids - chromic nitric sulfuric hydrofluoric etc. - in a neat little shadowbox tray. He thinks of etchings, descaling, conventional uses...and then he takes a deep breath, grabs the box, and hurls it in what he assumes is the direction of Etrigan's face.

Then he charges toward the demon, totally focused on getting the tablet. And then the sprinklers go off.
