[There's a lot for Firo to process right now, so much so that thoughts of the ocean (where they should be?) are banished from his head. For one, his corner of crime is largely a man's world, so a woman charging in is enough to have him gaping like a fish on dry land.
For another, he's pretty sure he's never been scolded like that by anyone besides Seina, at least not since he was a little kid. A man would be about to lose that jabbing finger, but what the hell do you do when it's a woman?
And for yet another--Hank is married?!
If he hadn't seen her willingly cozy up to him, Firo'd ask her if she needed help to get away from that freak. His eyes dart to her left hand; maybe this is some sort of weird joke and Hank hired her to prank him, maybe--
Nope. That sure is a wedding ring on her finger.]
I-- Wh--
[What. He turns his head towards Hank and finally manages to force out an intelligible thought.]
Somebody married you?
[Gross. The Hank that he remembers--bearded, sometimes drunk, sometimes unclothed--is one no woman should experience. He might be tempted to warn this lady if that type of conversation were the kind of thing you could talk about in front of a woman.]
