Sean doesn't catch that particular bit of phrasing, if only because it just sounds too right, too natural, to bother taking any special notice of. That, and he clearly has other pressing concerns to be aware of. "Was that s'posed ta get me ta back off?" he asks, and even if he's not quite smiling anymore, that teasing lilt to his voice is back. Even when dealing with problems that no man ever should (or has, for all he knows), even Sean can only be so serious while making out in the snow like some stupid, lovesick teenager. "'Cause if so, ye might'n want t' try a different tack."
