Archer flinches a bit at the shock, but he doesn't pull away. He is silent after a moment to take Kimblee's words into consideration before shaking his head. "That's not the goddamn point! You don't have to actually threaten to leave; you know that as well as I do! You just have to look ever-so-slightly displeased and I immediately work to correct the behavior. You know that's how I work and you can use that to your advantage! You never have to go back on your word that way!"

He finally moves to try to break away from Kimblee's grip, still glaring. "You're still focusing on only one issue here. You're a manipulative bastard and I'm sick and fucking tired of dealing with it! If you're going to keep being this way and expect to always get your way whenever you're even slightly displeased, then you have another fucking thing coming! I'm not going to deal with your shit anymore, Kimblee. Either this relationship is going to operate under your ideal "Equivalent Exchange" or I'm done. I'm not putting up with this anymore!"
