Paxton had nothing to say in response to her request. Of course he wasn’t calm! She was being downright mean and beyond rude. And for her to say it wasn’t important!? Yes it was! Ugh!

Paxton frowned toward her and threw his arms in the air once again before returning to his cross-armed sulk, “Fine but I’m right. You’re just being mean. Why are you even here?”

His ‘here’ was obviously meaning the Sanditon resort but he was too annoyed to try and be specific, his angry expression fixed in place.
