Exciting huh? [Sorry, you can't just "anyway" that away. There's a little snort of a laugh at that, though it's good natured.]

I mean of course a plain guy like you would find this kind of thing exciting. It's like an adventure or something for you, right? So what role do I play mister protagonist? Am I the badass female side kick or your damsel in distress, huh?

[The sad thing is she was just asking if he was okay. Now he has to put up with this kind of teasing.]
