Her question gets a laugh from him along with her imagination providing 'bending a knee' even figuratively. Yeah, well... More like there was a nice benefit to being on his knees around Crawford. Most days. Not as much lately, due to finding out that Crawford was from his past.

"On the surface, no - unless you're me." He smirks. If he wants to, he knows how to get a rise out of Crawford, and at least as a god he has a small chance of getting out such a situation alive too, as opposed to an infinitesimally small one. "But under all of that, he'll hold a grudge as long as I will and pay it back with interest. That's our way." Geez, ours, because that's better than calling a two-man team by its team name?

"I was going to say that someone like you is unlikely to ever anger him... but he knows I haven't addressed your other master yet either." He's finally getting over that "emotional bender" he'd been on and realizing that as much as he didn't like it when he first found out, he likes it even less now.
