The thought of turning against Mercutio is so absurd he nearly laughs at it. If Tybalt was here, rescued from death somehow as Mercutio has been, and he claimed to care for Mercutio? That’s ridiculous. He killed him. Last time Benvolio checked, most people don’t kill someone they care for. Whatever Mercutio’s feelings on the matter are he can find out later, but for Tybalt to show up and do anything that clearly toyed with Mercutio further (if, as this man claims, Mercutio has been upset by it all) it — it makes Benvolio incredibly angry.

“Do you know how Mercutio died?” he asks, still not looking at Sagramore.
