[He comes from a military background, BB, instructive bullying is just a matter of course! Which is mostly why he's confused, actually: if someone's going to rag on him, he's used to it being more practical ragging. This girl just seems like she... really likes hearing herself talk, or has a really bizarre way of flirting. Either way spells trouble.
... But he's also still stuck, so it's not like he can back away from her like he's starting to want to do. Instead, he slowly lowers one knee, like he's about to consent to her mysterious high-handed demands. But actually, he's just trying to take the pressure off his scalp; now he can turn his head a little easier, he does give her a Look, both wary and kind of deadpan.]
Do you talk like this to strangers all the time? [just saying] And it's not clear. You talk a lot about help. You haven't told me what you can do.
[So really it just sounds like she's blowing a lot of hot air to him, as intimidating as she can be. He has in fact met scarier women, even if he wasn't stuck headfirst to a magical vehicle at the time.]
