"You're all talk," she teased, leaning up to kiss his cheek. She took one of the kittens and cradled him in her arms. Scratching under his chin, she smiled as the little creature started to purr.
"You don't want mama to lose trust in you and you don't want to make her or the kittens upset, so you won't do anything. Honestly, I find it sweet." Taking the kitten, she held him next to her face and smiled at the demon. "This little guy thanks you too, because you're soft. He likes you, Clint."
She kissed the kitten's forehead, then smirked as she glanced back at Clint. "Besides, I'm sure I've inflicted worse pain onto you."
