His brow furrowed slightly, his expression conveying his disbelief that he had been fooled by Jiho once again. He felt a twinge of frustration at himself for falling into her playful trap.
"You... you are teasing me," Mer Chu finally managed to say in a flustered tone, his voice tinged with both embarrassment and a touch of admiration for Jiho's wit.
