[Despite his urge to fall into the sweet little trap she's set by calling him cute again, his ears flick, then swivel, flattening against his head as his pout intensifies. No, he's not cute! He's angy!]

It exists for a reason! And I'll beat him as many times as I've gotta for him to crawl back into his shitty little hole and leave everyone alone!
