[ he's just smiling the absolute worst bullying smile in the entire world, and he pats axel's arm, soothingly, if patronizingly sweet, cooing: ] Oh, there, there. Even if you've been awfully mean to me [ he has not ] I'll comfort you nonetheless - must I remind you you're an all star?
[ Axel sees that bullying smile (which he is actually rather fond of) come back from the war!! With that singular pat to his arm, he lowers his hands, and he's about to say something when the curfew effect decides to really swing in there. ]

Got any other kind of compliments ready for me? [ Then with an added ridiculous: ] Can I whistle?
[ stop dicking around your teammate is dead, both of you ]
Can you whistle? [ he's still snickering, though. this curse is stupid. it's a lot less annoying than the monologue - harmless, in the grand scheme of things. ] Don't beg for praise. You're going the right way for a smacked bottom.
[ this comes out of his mouth and his snarky, bullying smile goes freezes slightly because that's kind of embarrassing, but, well, still kind of funny. rolling with it. ]

That sudden slippage of tongue via curse which is wholly (holy) unintentionally inappropriate gets an amused look from Axel. ]
...Oh yeah? I had no idea that's how you took it.
[ Limiting his words on purpose because yes, it is funny, and he is going to take the opportunity to drop a tease. ]
