[ She draws a breath and is trying very hard not to look annoyed. She is mostly successful, at least. ]
We've had that conversation before. Why I prefer to tell people myself. And then the thing with Venti and Lumine.
I'm not angry, but... I'm begging you, think before you gossip. [ She won't have this conversation a third time, she'll just stop trusting him. And there's no coming back from that. ] I need you to respect my boundaries the way I respect yours about not being too affectionate in public -- barring when I was under status effects, that is.
I know you didn't mean any harm and it's probably from a place of being proud of me and seeing nothing wrong with what I am. But I also know how some people can get about vampires. I worry about it all the time.
I need to have control over who knows so I can feel safe.
I know you know all this, just... [ She's hoping if she explains it like that it'll sink in better. ]
I forget that anyone could ever think poorly of you, even for foolish reasons. I wish you had the luxury of forgetting that, but I know that you don't.
[There is nothing wrong with her. It's other people who are wrong.]

For punishment, you will take me and this delicious cake to bed and wash the sheets when I inevitably get chocolate on them.
