--
"Hey, Abby?"
"Yeah, Sarah?"
"I've been noticing lately that Connor does that annoying guy thing. You know, where they protectively stand between the poor, vulnerable woman and danger."
"He does do that. Quite a lot."
"But you're a better fighter."
"Much."
"And a better shot."
"Definitely."
"But you humor him and let him pull the condescending 'protect the womanfolk' thing?"
"Yep."
"Why? Isn't that kind of demeaning?"
"I let Connor pull out his machismo and play around with the boys so long as - once we get home - I get to pull out my strap-on machismo and play around with him."
