There, at first, that was the anger Twice expected. He was already starting to try to come up with his excuses, about how he didn't know what Shigaraki would have wanted him to do, how scared he was of being alone, how he was prepared to betray the truce at the drop of a hat if Shigaraki wanted him to and --
He closed his mouth and swallowed those excuses as his brain makes a complete stop. He listened, because he recognized orders when he heard them, and when Shigaraki finished he very tentatively said, "But you're only pretending to reject me, right?" This wasn't like with the Yakuza, where Twice didn't have to pretend to like them, just play up the 'reluctant allies' angle. He could tell Tomura was pissed off and even if it could be spun to be good for whatever he was planning, Twice didn't want him to be mad at him.
Jin tried to push past his insecurities, lowering his voice even if there wasn't anyone with or without any dogs within earshot, just in case. "I can do it, I can play double agent for you. I'll make it up to you, I promise." And then he switched suddenly again, insecurities replaced by an almost-cockiness. "Make a huge scene and I'll bet the local gossips will have it everywhere on the internet by tonight."
