"Whoa, hold on. Didn't I just say "not harmful"?! I didn't mean slapping her or whatever rude method that exists, instead using techniques that could dissuade her to bother me for a moment at best, and that she could see as teasing at worst, at least from my point of view... The one I said wouldn't be good to use for instance was about spraying pretty cold water onto her, but then I'm pretty sure she wouldn't mind its side effects, and in particular the potentially wet clothes..."

I pause for a moment, and resume after a sigh: "Actually, by thinking twice about my other options, she could very well take anything as teasing... Even pinching her... Though I don't have any option involving magic, but those would be too much already."

"Also, Isaac, I know I can't fight her, and I don't want to cause a diplomatic incident either. I'm not *that* stupid. But I at least want to try discouraging her from going after me, with non-violent means. I honestly doubt these could start a war... And even if they do, I doubt it would be worth it."

As Jeiel continues his explanation, I remember the mark: "I understand better how Mina got her scar now... It sounds like it was hell for all of you, I'm glad you managed to get out of there alive AND end this madness. I'm wondering now, how did you do it?"
