[If the situation had been any less serious, he may have tried to laugh things off again. "That's love for you. Turns normal people crazy, and crazy people crazier!" But right now, he can't. Not with Jinx so subdued and insecure, not after she dropped that bomb of her own choice. Whenever she gets to praising him like this, it can be difficult to take, but Jinx is more important that some stupid complex of his own making.

Especially if she just demolished most of a building because he's too friendly with other girls.

Releasing her shoulder, he moves his hand up to run his fingers through her hair.]

Jinx, try and remember who you're talking to over here. [Only mildly self-depreciating. He is the idiot high school kid with nothing but a knife collection and bad aim with which to protect himself or anyone else.] If anyone is putting up with anyone, it's the other way around.

Really. If you don't deserve me, then who does?
