Just because I set a couple boundaries for your sake you get all up in arms about it. Call it "babying."
And instead of trying to work this out you get this stupid thing put up-- [Axel waves a hand at the invisible barrier between them.] --push me around, belittle me, attack me, pretend I'm not here, when all I ever did was protect you and want to make amends.
[He looks back, gaze just as equally firm.]
And you have the gumption to talk to me about respect.
