i don't mind compassion
His jaw clenches and his grip on his cards tightens. If they weren't already so bent, he'd be more worried about it. "What makes you say that?" There's just the barest hint of anger to his voice, just the tiniest clenching of his teeth as he eyes the other man. He doesn't want to hurt Maeve's business, doesn't want to hurt Maeve. Would their being together mess something up? That's the last thing he wants.
The bubbled up anger in the pit of his stomach doesn't go away as he talks but he manages to mostly ignore it. "A good relationship usually does come out on the other side, I think." What would he know? Nothing really. But he's seen the kind of flash flame romances and how poorly they go. Been in one himself. "Glad you two are doing better though." And even if its dripping with something between jealousy and anger, he means it.
His eyes flick from his cards to Remi, eyebrow raised, "What, can you only go once? Surely you've got better endurance than that. You're a demigod right? Or did they take away your dick ability like the Voice does?" Locke and his terrible, inaccurate understanding of the gods.
"That's all you have to offer? Dreaming and lifting heavy shit? I can lift heavy shit." He scoffs, "Thought you had god magic or some shit." So much for flirting.
