Because you're the one who's been talking of actual violence. Angel and Rhys aren't fighters. They a very small woman who's probably never picked up a weapon in her life and a very thin man who used to work an office job, not fight.
[He might be exaggerating their helplessness a little here for effect, but so it goes.]
I doubt you'd even find any satisfaction in fighting them. You'd hit them once and they'd go down. I know you can have more patience than other people who have treated you with less, Mr. Estinien. You're a soldier. You know what it is to bide your time and set things aside for the greater good of a mission.
If you need someone to punish for them acting out, I'll offer myself. I can take it, and I'm Rhys' attending physician. He is and has been my responsibility, even if I'm not his commanding officer.
