No, it's okay.

[But it's a lot to take in, and she thinks it over before responding.]

But... You did fight off the aforementioned alien invasion, right?

Yeah. [ it's quiet, and he leans a bit more on the railing ] Yeah, we did. Told you I was taking a leave of absence, right? I wouldn't have tried to do that if things were still dire.

[ but he also told her his best friend died, so she can put two and two together ]

...Right. I remember.

[And her tone implies she remembers all of that, not just the leave of absence.]

You're right, you don't seem like the type.

[ he turns to her with a wry grin ]

What gave me away?

Do you want me to go alphabetically or chronologically?

Well, now I do, just to see if you can pull it off. [ but he shakes his head ] What can I say? I've got a bit of a work ethic problem.

What, you’re not just going to trust that I could?

[She laughs despite herself.]

Maybe, but I think we’re all pretty lucky to have that problem around.
