Prickly was definitely the response he was expecting from Chris, thought he was only slightly surprised that he hasn't made with the telekinesis and tossed him on his ass. The night was young and there was always a chance that Chris would get annoyed enough to do it when he realizes that Andy wasn't going to back off. Whitelighter he may be, but a pacifist he was not and he was definitely prepped to brawl with Chris to get him to realize that he needed to be there, even if said brawl was only the verbal kind.

"No can do, kid," he said in a tone very reminiscent of 'sorry but not sorry' that made it obvious that he wasn't planning on heading back to the Elders with his tail between his legs anytime soon. It was his job to keep an eye on Chris no matter how much the witchlighter didn't want it and made it difficult to do with his trips down to the Underworld. "I'm here to keep an eye on you and you telling me no isn't going to stop me. The Elders sent me to make sure you're kept safe and keep an eye out for something involving a future whitelighter coming back and poking around his family to save the future."
