And he's right about one thing. Any mention of him not being worth it wouldn't fly with her and would set her off--again. He should know her well enough to realize that she wouldn't be fighting this hard for him if she didn't think he was.
And because she's been running with her emotions--not deterred in the slightest by her proximity to Zelos to keep her voice lowered--she hasn't quite yet focused on the fact that not only is the bag totally destroyed, but the cat is sitting contentedly upon the remains, purring loudly. That's the one thing about cats, once they're out, they tend to stay that way, making their presence known with actions or sounds until someone notices them and either holds them or pets them.
As far as she's concerned, the argument's over, the shouting's done, and she releases him to take a step back. She opens her mouth to offer an apology for her actions when his comment brings her up short, confusing her. There's a trace of stubborn anger in her voice when she responds.]

[But no shouting...yet.]
