"What's unfair about it?"

"How'm I supposed to stay mad at you?"

"Most people manage pretty well!"

"I assure you if you follow through on raping me I will get my mad back in a hurry."

"I could've guessed. But I don't think I'm going to do that."

"Good." She looks down at all of the everything and sighs happily. "This is gorgeous."

He beams at her.

"Ooh, you can do adorable as well as hot!"

"Now that is really not something I've heard before."

"And how many people have you smiled at like that?"

"...well, probably not none..."

"But the fact that you're not sure it isn't is communicative."

"Okay, yes."

"And, you know, if you had somehow smiled at me like that before resolving the confusion about how dragon-on-human rape even works, I bet I would have reacted differently."

"...?"

"That being a more extreme subset of 'before you decided not to rape me'. I would not be calling you adorable if I still thought you were very likely to rape me."

"Well, that might explain why I've never heard that one before."

Deadpan: "What a shock."

Snort.

"My books did not explicitly cover 'people are more likely to give you compliments when they are less afraid you will rape them' but I am smart so I figured it out anyway."

He giggles.

"You have a good giggle."

"You're just full of novel compliments!"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Well it is now."
