[He can imagine that Michel's defensiveness has a purpose and a reason. Where it stems from is nothing Yael desires to know — he isn't in the business of psychoanalyzing twinks — but he can relate just enough to give him a pass.
Besides, he truly does find Michel charming. No amount of sass and defensiveness that's sprung up as a result of a shitty upbringing could ever mask an earnest heart, and that's why Michel's every quip and insult rolls right off Yael's back. You'll have to mean what you say when you insult him if you want Yael to take offense, Michel.]
Well well, aren't you honest? No offense taken. We all have our types.
[Another laugh, brief but mirthful. He's been accused of much worse than being a muscle-brained brute, but it may come as some surprise to Michel that Yael's caught on to the way he's caged his tongue. There's a brain hidden somewhere beneath all this muscle.]
