[he initially interprets sett's reaching for his wrist as the (oddly slow) lead-in to a blow, so he first tries to lean into it, then flinches and squeezes his eyes shut as he realizes his face is now defenseless.
but he grows still and opens one eye, then the other as sett speaks, and then he just stares, baffled. (his face is defenseless, all right!)
...he generally saves the apples for a cooldown snack, but there's a residual hint of the flavor nonetheless. thank god he hasn't been eating onions!
...even sett's lips are strong... he wasn't supposed to dodge this, was he?]
