The fact that he joked about it with a straight face said more about the madness that haunted him than it did anything else. "I suppose though I'll have to consider a kettle to the back of the head then. If it comes to that." Adding the last, all for his own amusement.

"Do you think someone has somehow followed you here?" Setting down his teacup, sitting up straighter with a heavy frown. "Or someone from here? An enemy living under your nose?" Instantly he was on point as it were, trying to work out if there was a threat they needed to be concerned about, even if she didn't need him to be concerned about her.

Looking for the sort I actually remove the hat for," he taunted, definitely amused with himself. "Or seeing if you're skilled enough to knock it from my head?"
