"Aww, thanks," comes with a friendly shoulder-punch that she, predictably, feels awkward about the second after she does it. "I mean, I'd probably be a little insulted if you didn't, since I've got no evidence you know anyone else up there besides the co-worker who told everyone not to vote for her, but, y'know, still."

That's meant to be a joke but it also feels awkward. Agh.

"Cool, cool, yeah, uh, I've been busy too." Getting drunk multiple times a week. Doing another comedy routine that revealed way too much about her love life woes. Handling things just so well. "Just. Super busy. Yeah."
