You want me to be serious? [His eyes glint. A humor is there that is not the lackadaisical one he usually has when he's traipsing around. It's darker, a lot darker.
Plenty of people underestimate his ruthlessness because they don't see this kind of hunger.] I can be serious.
[But does Lea want the annoying, but relatively harmless clown... or the bloodthirsty, intense one?]
What can I say, I truly believe if you try hard enough, you could become bearable.
[ well if there's no other option axel is going to attempt to live with this one. and roll with it. and just straight up insult him. he's highkey given up ]
[Honestly, he doesn't look amused at all. He doesn't do a single thing except stare at Lea, unblinking.
The house of cards on the table crumbles suddenly without either of them moving at all. It doesn't startle or bother him. He doesn't even look the cards' way.]

[he uh doesn't sound hurt at all, of course]
