"I'm not crazy," Tim says as dully as he can. It's hard not to rail against that, but it's residual bitterness that isn't from here or for here. It wouldn't even be relevant at home anymore, but sometimes he has a hard time letting go. "You..."

Did not just say that about Stephanie. Okay, it's arguably true. Inarguably true, and nothing that Tim hasn't thought himself. Hearing someone else say it and say it like that is irritating, and it's not helping his attempt to bite his tongue and present himself as he feels the Gamemakers want him to - they want stoic.

And he's completely failing at it. "Could you please not talk about my girlfriend's ass?"
