Oh, I wouldn't throw a punch if I were angry at you, Mr. Barnes. [There's a certain way he says that, an almost undercurrent of threat. But he offers a rueful smile a moment later. Perhaps it was nothing.] It's not particularly in my nature to be violent, lessons in sword fighting aside. Truthfully, I would fear more for my hand than your person in that exchange.

Please do not think on it, and you needn't inform me should some other dalliance occur.
