"Well he sounds especially charming." It wasn't terribly surprising, people had a habit of reacting poorly in even the best of situations. Still though, it made her shake her head. "Of course, what's not logical about a little excessive violence in the middle of a quarantine." She waved her hand in lieu of shrugging, clearly not seeing how anyone could find logic in the reaction.
It probably shouldn't have, and it definitely got her a few less than impressed looks from the others mulling about in the room, but his question was met with a bark of laughter. "Sorry to disappoint, cowboy, but you don't have anything under that shirt I'm interested in seeing - outside of in a medical capacity anyway." As he settled into his seat, Cass shifted so she was actually sitting on the table rather than just leaning. "Unless you're actually a woman underneath the rugged working man thing you've got happening? Then I might be interested." She sort of doubted someone who could be cheerful with death pending was going to get up in arms about her being gay, but hey, she wasn't in high school anymore and if someone did then it was their problem not hers.
"Company I can do though. If only to spare you from being on the receiving end of anymore threats." Her grin quirked wider, obviously shifting back into teasing him just slightly since he seemed in such good spirits about the whole thing. "I feel like I have to ask, since you're handling it so well and all. This is the first time some guy's threatened to end you, is it? I'm thinking some cute girls burly boyfriend who didn't like that flirty grin of yours pointed at his girl." Hopefully he was looking for chatty company, because apparently her ramble planned to be in full force now that there was someone seemingly willing to talk around.
