However, Kade’s concern bounces right off.

Val, dismissively: Aww, aren’t you a sweetheart. This is part of your “friends with everyone” gimmick, isn’t it?

Kade, grumbling and facepalming: Fucking hell.

Val: What’d I say?

Kade: Are you doing this intentionally?

Val: Doing what?

Kade: Antagonizing everyone.

Val bursts into laughter, much to Kade’s disturbance.

Kade: A-Are you? I thought you weren’t that kind of person, but—

Val: Kade. Kade, please, you’re killing me.

Val: What a nice thought.

She wipes away a nonexistent tear and pats Kade on the shoulder.

Kade sidesteps, miffed.

Val turns away.

Val: Tell you what, I’ll be honest with ya. But you’re gonna think I’ve lost it.

Kade, defensively: I already think you’ve lost it.

Val, teasingly: Thanks. See, we’re off to a great start!
