[She just raises an eyebrow at him, unimpressed, but she's not quite rude enough to just walk away. Or at least, he hasn't been frustrating enough in the last few minutes to make her forget herself; sometimes she does.

She really does try to be polite, overall, he's just good at getting under her skin.]

That's one off my list now, at least. [Joking; it's not what she expects to go with anyway, but it's not like she's planning on hanging around to work with him even if she does.]

Ow, that hurts. [He puts a hand to his chest in mock pain, even as it makes his arm twinge with actual pain.] Every lead needs a great second in command, I would have been happy to offer the role to you.

[If he's being honest, most of the time their positions are practically tied, sometimes with her in the lead. He got lucky on the last few tests, got a leg up with his abilities to diagnose a hard case and it's pushed him ahead. He doesn't usually have this to hold over her, he has to milk it while he still can.]

Tempting, but I don't think I could fit alongside your ego. [Her voice is bone dry, wrinkling her nose as she glances at him.] Maybe save it for someone you actually get along with. If you ever find one.
