[ Hunk rolls his eyes. He can't joke his way through this stressful check-up with doctors he didn't trust if he couldn't joke with someone. ]

Would you rather be bothered by the doctors or by me?

[ The nurse wanders away for a minute, grabbing some other supplies or noting down some information- Hunk didn't really care. ]

I could start screaming. Mean snake guys are pretty scary. I kinda wanna scream. Should I scream?

[ The question, while barbed, is still earnest. Would fear be more palatable than jokes? Snakes are weird. Hunk doesn't claim to understand them. ]
