"You're grumpy." It was sort of stating the obvious, but Elle didn't really care. Sometimes people needed to be reminded that they were acting like dicks. Sometimes people forgot that kind of thing. "And you really need to learn to listen, 'cause I said that I needed a good cry. Not you. You're kind of the silent manpain type, right?" Putting her arms out to her side as if she suddenly had protruding muscles, Elle furrowed her eyebrows in false irritation and lowered her voice, imitating him. "'I'm too strong and deadly to admit that I wanna cry like a little girl, so I'm just going to get drunk instead.'" She laughed then, putting her arms back down. "It's a pretty big cliche. I'm a little embarrassed for you."
Elle rose an eyebrow at him, creating a small ball of lightening in her hand to help him rethink his approach. "Maybe try the gremlins, 'cause I've been kind of twitchy lately. Might fry the shit out of you if you're not careful."
