[Know how much guilt she feels about kicking him? None. Absolutely none. She's rude like that.
But he does manage to, if not fluster her, at least throw her off a little. Sarcasm she can take and spit right back at him; even lewdness is easily dealt with. But she isn't entirely certain how to respond to a compliment like that, because she certainly doesn't want to do something so stupid as smile or laugh, but nor does she want to disparage the compliment entirely (because it was sweet, kind of, in that special Bigby way).
So yes, her cheeks are a bit red now, and she wrinkles her nose again.]
You're ridiculous. No one's called me that since I was sixteen, and for good reason.
