[He may not say anything in reply, but Rex understands.
The mask, the cheap verbal shots, and all the pompous, overbearing posing- Like his hero skill set, it's all smoke and mirrors. He is alive after years of putting himself through hell because while he does care about the people whose lives he has been entrusted to protect, he knows when to bow out, provided that his ego doesn't get in the way.
It helps that he can take quite a few hits. She is not worth less for wanting to save herself, and in all honesty, who else will? For now, Rex will do his very best.]
Ayyyy! Hey, that's the thing about being an unlovable asshole.
We do the shit those cutesy-ass motherfuckers don't have the guts tah-do.
[That is "to-do" but um, Rex style pronunciation...
He balls his hand into a fist, offering it to her as well.]
