Perhaps a bit harsher than he had been lately, he growled, "why do you always call me that?!"
Seeing the tickets still in his hand, he tried to hide them away in a pocket before Natalie would notice them...
In a calmer tone, trying to collect himself. "Uhh...nothing. I happened to give the lottery a chance." He used his head  to point to the overly-excited merchant, which possibly was a mistake, as the merchant noticed him. "WHY MISS! This man just won tickets to the Forgotten Springs Resort! Would you like to your luck as well? Everyone's a winner!" The merchant gave a wide innocent grin.
