[The way she says baby is that weird mix of affectionate-and-also-still-someone-else's-catchphrase-she-stole, but at least she isnt being condescending.]
But it might not work out the way you want it to, you know.
[He... does like being called "baby" even if the origins of that particular inflection are a mystery to him. Still, all this does is make him huff and bluster, a decidedly horsey response to his irritation.]
Yeah well, the difference between here and home is that here I can take my chances; I'll get to come back for round two. Or three. Whatever it takes. Four, five, twelve. I don't care! He doesn't get to talk to you like that.
[She cocks a brow with a knowing smile, head tilted to the side, and sighs.]
You're adorable when you're mad, you know?
But that's not what I mean. You could probably show him a thing or two, especially if you had help.
But... Do you really think a guy like that will stop doing what he does just cos somebody cleans his clock once or twice?
[This would be funnier if Hanna knew that Aunamee makes clocks. Or that her sister was killed with a clock, and in one world it was Aunamee who did it. Or if clocks were actually funny.]
[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!]
So, what? We're just supposed to let him keep going around and-- and, like-- Bad-guy-ing or whatever?? That doesn't sit right with me! You know the phrase "beating some sense into" someone? 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!

[She puts her hands on her hips.]
We don't have to let him do anything. We just have to be smarter than him!
[She prods him in the chest with her forefinger, gently, punctuating;]
Which means we don't give him reasons to feed off our anger and fear. And you look about as fired up as you sound right now, you know!
