["I'm not patronizing you", he wants to spit back, but despite Rafe expressing his absolute abhorrence for Fenris's subservient demeanor he habitually suppresses the urge to talk back. His lips twitch until forced into a flat line to hide that frustration, shoulders stiffening.
His mind? He couldn't even begin to understand; his mind belongs elsewhere, to someone else, and Rafe has made his stance on that clear, so why would his mind be considered some selling point? All Fenris is getting from this is that Rafe wants him to back off a little, which should be something fairly easy to rectify, but how does he fight something so instinctual?
He shifts his focus elsewhere instead. To something that's bugging him about the way Rafe talks about himself.]
I don't understand why you speak of yourself the way you do.
