Finally he seemed to get Korbin's attention, seemed to have his words stick a bit longer than normal. He wasn't completely dismissed, wasn't totally brushed aside before his words even had a chance to finish sounding. Chuy was surprised that it had worked, that his annoyance seemed to stick better than his otherwise kind demeanour.
The boy didn't seem keen to prolong the eye contact though, squirming and shifting under Chuy's icy gaze. At least he didn't try to hit him again, or turf him out onto the street. When he did finally reply, Chulane scoffed quietly, then winced at the pain the small action caused him. Deserved that, he thought of the instant punishment he had received for his rude reaction, at least the kid seems to be understanding something now.
"Just a reflex." He repeated softly, his tone back to its usual cool temper. "Well, you have good reflexes." He offered with a hint of a smirk, purposefully not defining whether he meant his reflexes as a healer, or a fighter. It faded quickly,
He came to a belated realisation that he was quiet overly warm. Looking down at himself, he saw Korbin's overcoat still slung over his own. Shrugging it off slowly and carefully so as not to jostle his head too much, he folded it once on itself and handed it back, before taking another drink from the cup of water.
