canon is The Princess Novels by Jim C Hines

[scintillates]

Life after death? Because that worked out so well the first time I tried it. I hope you're not expecting it to go any better because it's me this time, I haven't exactly had the best run of luck lately.

All right, to be honest, I really don't care what you think you can do me. I probably deserve it after everything that happened. But stop trying to drag Talia into this! I arranged everything so that she would have the best chance at happiness without me. You don't have any right to ruin that for her and make things even more confusing!

By the way, the idea of giving me mirrors for a weapon again is sick, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry about that. [She's sort of distracted when she says it though. Her eyes drag up his body, taking in the sight of him before a slow smile curves across her lips]

No. Quite the opposite, actually. You just took me by surprise.

Not your fault. [ OR IS IT. I mean. Hi.

He glances to the side, clearing his through and scratches the side of his neck, pretending not to see that look. ] Ah. Well. All the better, I s'ppose. And I might call you... what?

[scintillates]

I can't be sorry anyway?

[The smile lifts at the corner. She doesn't actually laugh at him, but it's pretty clear she finds his reaction amusing] You might call me a lot of things, but Snow is generally what I respond to.
