Unfortunately, the teasing may not help. Usually their little quips help ease each other. Tiny comments about how she literally is a motherhen or how sulky he can be help Cloud with the day's tasks and duties. But it seems he's a little sensitive right now, wincing and ducking his head away from her fist.]
H-hey! Watch it!
[He is by no means used to wearing such headgear, and while the rapping may be gentle, it rings away in his ears.]
These things are uncomfortable as it is. [Sulking and pouting. There may be another reasons for his reaction, but he's sticking to this one.
With a sigh, he takes their entwined hands and steps forward. He'll take the lead.]
