She watches him for a moment before asking, "...Eckert being a pain?"
"Eckert's about to get my entire leg up his ass," Jay replies, still typing.

It would be nice if he treated himself with the same care, but. Baby steps. (It’s just a really good example of a flawed character who is, ultimately, trying to do the right thing. :3)
