You’re about fifty times smarter than me, and you have this company — don’t say you aren’t the CEO anymore, it still revolves around you — and just /all/ the things. I feel like I haven’t done anything with my life next you. *still sulky*

*pauses in his work to give her a mildly bemused, but mildly entertained look over his shoulder*  Why would I say I’m not the CEO, when I am?  When have you ever known me not to take credit for something?

Mrrrr. I forgot. Some days it’s hard to /tell/ you’re the guy who runs things, considering how much time you spend down here tinkering. And that has nothing to do with you being fifty times smarter and a thousand times more successful than me. *watches him over the back of the couch, vaguely pouting*
