Angrily and stand-offish

Without warning, Vivien rebuffs you, pushing you away from her and dropping the plate she was handling onto the table before her. As it collides with the solid oak top, it shatters, and pieces scatter around the room.

"For God sake, Ben. I'm not in the mood. Stop messing around and do some work."

"Hey, hey, I was just trying to help lighten the situation somewhat. Vivien, we moved here to change things up. To escape all that tension and start to heal. Excuse me if I want to show my wife how much I love her."

She started busying herself with more of the packed boxes, decanting things seemingly at random about the room as she continued, "Just... stop. Please. I'm not ready to forgive you yet, and I'm definitely not in the right frame of mind to joke around. Just get to clearing some of the boxes like a normal adult. We can relax afterwards."
