[He almost frowns but catches it at the last moment, fighting to keep his face as carefully neutral as possible. Ma hated it when he showed fear or displeasure instead of simply accepting his punishment gracefully. He'd always done something to deserve it after all.
So when she insists he wouldn't last he merely nods his agreement. No words necessary and everything he said only seemed to make her more angry. At least Ma was a known entity. He knew what would make it worse and what might turn her attention from Modesty or Chastity. With this blonde though he had no idea what would set her off. So best to stay quiet. He'd balled this up badly enough as it was.]
