Hitan has a smart-aleck tone, too, though he doesn't focus on it with anyone but Helen, who he sometimes tries to annoy. Otherwise, it's more of him giving the general aura of "I'm smarter than you", since he has a tendency to talk like a scholar and use sophisticated terminology in casual conversation.

Rai's variation of a "smart-aleck" tone stems towards his protective nature. He doesn't use it for ungrateful people, who he knows won't take his words seriously anyways. It slants towards scolding, in a way, and he either sounds like an overprotective older brother, or an overprotective father, more of the aforementioned than the latter. In this tone, he doesn't leave room for debate, and it's pretty much conveying "If you don't listen to me, you're screwed." He's used this once with CC!Frank.

If he uses this tone, and the other doesn't listen (he knows he's right and he expects for the other to know and abide by this as well), he pretty much gives up on the other, or depending on how much he cares.
