Ankh is an expert at accumulating negative CR. It is great.

That is an excellent question. He can certainly recognize that she is mad, but people get mad at him for all kinds of things that he thinks are not worth getting mad over. Like, I don't think he'd even consciously admit that he was being 'nice' in the first place.

He will certainly spend less time passive-aggressively-tsundere-esque fussing in her direction, anyway. Or at least less time doing it really obviously.
