"We'll make sure to get you one that matches your eyes, then." One thing that was nice about teasing Clarice -- she didn't make it too difficult for him. "Don't even pretend like you wouldn't just walk out of the room and pretend the mess didn't exist until somebody else cleaned it up."
Brian noticed the baby monitor on the kitchen counter, but his attention wasn't averted long enough before Clarice's flailing arms brought a smirk to his face, and a chuckle. "That's what you get for being a freeloading mooch. You could always buy your own food. Then you wouldn't have that problem." He hadn't said it in a mean way, but certainly in a way that would irritate her. "I'm gonna go check on the kid," he said, walking out of the kitchen before she could say a word otherwise.
