Kian put his hands in front of his chest to pull Taliesin's arms apart, not about to actually let himself get choked. Still, he didn't make too much of an effort of fending the man off, mostly because somewhere in the back of his head he did remember the exhaustive list of things Taliesin was supposed to avoid - such as strenuous exercise - and he knew how he very much didn't avoid any of them. He was responsible for Taliesin's health, whether either of them wanted him to be or not.

But then he brought up his father, his surname, like that, and he didn't think about being considerate any more. He didn't think at all, he simply shoved forward and then immediately slipped past Taliesin, simply so he could pin him to the desk instead. He didn't bother trying to spin him around, so he was essentially forcing the man to bend over the desk.

"You don't fucking know a thing about me and what I'm capable of. But I know everything there is to know about you. I know you used to be great. I also know just how washed up you are now."

He put a hand at the back of Taliesin's neck now, to try and force him down further, at the same time moving close against him to bodily pin him to the desk. "I'm not here for you to fuck over. They don't pay me enough for that."
