I think this is how I'd feel as well. Like, if any of my partners had ever hurt me, I know my stepdad would want to (and could if pressed) kick their head in. That's reassurance enough that he loves me and wants to protect me. He doesn't need to resort to machismo peacocking.

It's like, just cut the chatter, Red Two.

Anything that needs to be said about protectiveness can be said with a firm handshake and a calm, level gaze.

At *most*: "I'll be waiting up."
