Mister Boy was a lot less forgivable when it was her saying it.

"Don't think I'll go easy just 'cause you're an ankle biting twerp."

Nerine brings out his antagonistic side easily. Somehow. Whatever gentleness he'd shown with Hesri appears to have evaporated, trading in that cautious awkwardness with the combative menace they'd found buried in the battlefield a week ago. He at least settles when Galli arrives (freshly showered) to help set the ground rules. He is using more bark than bite here, but the barking was pretty emphatic.

Arms crossed and breaking out the Full Frown, he mostly acquiesces to the rules of the latest game he was yanked into. No punching, no punching tits (does this even apply to either of them?) no throat grabs. He only complains when Headbutting is axed off the list, because: 'How'm I supposed to give her rematch a fitting end? This's barely even a fight.'

But fine! Fine. It's a game. Not a lesson in proper combat. So beyond a vocal complaint, it looks like he'll be getting sashed up.
