[If she knew that was what he thought, whether or not she was involved, she would tell him off. Latent criminals are human too, and in come cases, they were just more sensitive to emotions than others. Even she thought it was unfair, and they deserve to be loved and respected like the rest. After all, she's spent so much time with them to understand how they tick. Quite honestly, she didn't really care.

But it didn't stop her managing a smile at his joke.] Forgive me for passing that job onto you today. But in a way, you still were my senior, no?

[He still acts like an inspector. Worries like one, his work bench is so tidy she wonders if it was tidier than even hers. If to be compared to a pet, he wasn't a hound. He had to be something more majestic. Probably more great dane than if he was a doberman.]

They're strong hands. By the way. [Immediately she cleared her throat because she didn't know why she said that. Why did she say that?! Thank the deities no one is listening?! Maybe?! It might be why she's looking more red than she was the last time he carried her.

Again, thankful that she's settled down before she makes a bigger fool of herself. Bless the heavens that Ginoza is either not picking up on it, or he's choosing not to. Or his nitpicking saved her. Thank you, Gino's Nitpicking.]

I recover quite quickly, so you shouldn't worry. Which means you can look forward to me repaying you. [She's insisting.]
