"Look, Sev," she said, trying to sound as adult as possible, "I don't know what's got your feathers all ruffled now, but I think it's time you start being honest with me. Is somebody after you? Are you a spy, or something?"
Not that many countries in the world would want such an, er...excitable kid as a spy. If he was trying to gather intelligence, Selina wasn't a great source to come to, anyway.
