Usually Honey wasn't the sort that startled easily...but his mouth was so close to her ear that startle she did. But she wasn't the sort to shriek or shrink down. No way! She was the sort to whirl around and punch at whoever it was that had the nerve to sneak up on her and yell!
Honey didn't think of herself as short though and while she was aiming at the head part of her audible assulter, her fist caught him right in the middle of his chest plate instead.
But, her violent reaction was completely forgotten when she realized who it was and her scowl turned to a fit of giggles. "Xander!" She managed to get out, "That's not funny." her expression was such a contradiction but then she was too at the best of times, "You scared me!"
She would never apologize for punching at him. She did not take apologizing lightly and never would...Instead she asked,"I didn't hurt you did I?" Maybe there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
