Yeah, that's an error in the paragraph. I will fix it.
The vibe I was shooting for is that he is overly familiar with her because he sees her as a young girl, and she has been generally accepting of this familiarity despite their relatively shallow relationship because she likes not being treated like a boy for a change. However, she very quickly gets pissed off when he starts patronizing her benevolent sexism style because "girls don't do that sort of thing", even though it is obvious she is a fighter. It's a bummer it didn't read as I hoped.
I think I perhaps just didn't add enough meat to their interaction to make it more clear. Chalk that up to me being in a rush to finish. lol
