Kaye gasped and turned to glare at Leith. She crossed her arms to prevent from slapping him. "I am plenty smart, thank you! And you are not here to offer an opinion; that is my job! You are here to be quiet, dumb, and pull that trigger when needed!" She knew she was being an ass but so was he! Unlike him, though, she would feel guilty for it later when she came down from her high. 
     She then turned to look at the other guy. "To me...it looks like he wouldn't have lasted this long without you." She gave him a small smile that was actually genuine. "Can I ask you a serious question? Are you sure nothing is happening between the two of you?" For once she wasn't speaking in a mocking tone.
