[... this is no good. Andersen shouldn't have asked about Elliot's life in the first place. Learning more about a character makes one soft towards them and optimism has always struck his weak point. Especially when the optimist in question is a musician. He makes a disgruntled noise, though he remains quiet until they reach the balcony, whereupon he turns on his heel to face his companion.]
Listen. [He says in his typical, deep, manly voice. No more "kidding" around.] You're too much of a shounen protagonist. If I shoved you down the stairs like I intended to, I'd feel bad about it.
[He hadn't been expecting that reaction from the kid. Was there something too uncool about what he said? But he lets the silence be until they reach the balcony and Andersen speaks.
In a much deeper, manly voice. Which boy, sure takes Elliot aback]
Whoa, whoa, slow down! How am I supposed to get in a word with you going off like that?! Confessing my premeditated crimes is a selfless act from my end, give me room to build a pleasant explanation!

H-Hold on, I know that voice-
You're that swan harpy from the other month, aren't you?!
