"And hey, better a teasing joke now then us not having any ideas later and falling back on snapping my arm so we can go to the hospital or something!" It'd be an easy way out, sure, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt! "Mainly though the mental image of you hiding behind anyone was hilarious. You're so very...you. Not confrontational but you don't hide really you know? I might not be able to keep a straight face if you were playing hide behind a person!"
