[ Make the flustering worse? Yeah, make the flustering worse. ]
Shut up, Dad!
[ Talk about helicopter parenting! She's barely touching him! Sure, maybe all that conking metal is starting to sting a bit, but no big deal! Stop being such an alien sourpuss!
Of course he has to get her back, though. That hit strikes just as she's about to put her feet on one of his legs. Immediately, she nearly slips off. Uncool! He's getting one last conk to the gut. ]
No more calling me that, either!
[ ...Oww. She glares at him as she crawls over to her side of the bed, curling up in her tiny area. Somehow, her side feels even higher than it did before. Jeez. What if he rolls over while she's asleep? Scary thought...
Pushing the worry aside, she taps at her Watch, adjusting the lights to their dimmest setting, which hopefully it won't bother him--she learned very quickly on her first night here that she can't handle complete darkness. That settled, she gets comfortable, lying on her side with her back to him. It should help prevent any further bursts of temptation. ]
Good night, Soundwave.
[ Silence follows. Silly her, being so optimistic. It'd taken mere seconds for a new temptation to sprout up. She bites her lip, clutching her pillow harder. Don't say it, don't-- ]
