Let's not be blasphemous, now. ( that wasn't even remotely blasphemous, he's just trying to be helpful and lighten the mood, and a way that is (more than likely) entirely unhelpful. honestly, herc probably had some terrible dad jokes to hand that only contributed to chuck's outbursts. defusing the situation is not his strong suit, never has been. )

( it's strange-- not uncomfortable seeing someone else wielding striker, but definitely strange to see it in the hands of someone so entirely not a warrior. dangerous, he's not doubting that... it just seems possible that the weight of the thing might make her topple over. quiet chuckles aren't really an option when you feel like you might pass out, however. and he really doesn't want her to miss and take off his head, by accident. ) Count of three?

( she's going to do it on the count of two or one, he suspects, that's the way people always try to "help" )
