[Dixon's about to try and grab Cassie by the collar of her shirt when Robbie's suddenly there, chatting as if he just wandered into someone's kitchen at the smell of breakfast. It's such a surprising interruption that Dixon pauses before he does something he'd no doubt regret.
That pause in the conflict is enough for him to remember that he doesn't particularly want to beat the shit out of a girl (or get his ass kicked by one, which is well within the realm of possibility here). The circuit of rage and insult that he was in glitches, and the wild anger sputters into resentful bitchiness.
At least he likes Robbie well enough. He owes him, he knows it.
For a moment he grinds his teeth in the front, then steps away from Cassie. His hands are shaking and his eyes are still puffy and teary.]
Morning, Robbie. This bitch's been following me when I'm trying to get some peace of mind. That's all. [He casts her a long glare, not letting her out of his field of vision even as he talks to Robbie.] How're you feeling?
[Dixon's asked about four times in the last few days since Robbie woke up from that fainting spell, pretty much every time they've seen each other, with honest concern each time. This time it's more to try and regain some measure of civility than anything else.]
