For a moment, there's a rather pouting look on Genis face. Yeah, proper manners never really appealed to Genis anyway. "First you ask if I want to meet someone, and then you tell me it's rude to actually want to meet that someone," Genis remarks rather dryly. "I'm trying to figure out if teasing a kid is poorer taste than showing up ones' hosts." He doesn't say it out of anger or even disappointment; really, he's actually enjoying being teased just a little bit, though it's not like Genis is one to just come out and say it like that. Yes, this is how Genis expresses love.

"I mean, I could ask why she's here," he says, throwing a thumb over his shoulder to refer to the fire lady, "but I suppose no one else knows she's yours, huh?"
