He wasn’t surprised when the other guy brought up what he did once again, despite Robin’s desire to side step away from that conversation.

He shrugged at being called nice, dismissing the compliment almost as soon as it was given. “Of course it does. But being tired is no excuse to be cruel to someone else, in my mind, at least. And I’m not about to go around this office and be an ass to the people who I am trying to convince to hire me. That would be counterproductive at best.”
