You sure that's his real name?

( whatever, he's going to just. dig right into this pasta now, thanks. pretend that this is a completely normal conversation to be having while they're both covered in bandaids. )

If he gave me two aliases I'll be impressed at his paranoia.

I'll let you in on a secret.

( it's not a secret. but there is a dramatic pause, as jason pauses to. shove a forkful of pasta into his mouth. )

That kid's paranoia runs deeper than the fucking ocean.

[She sticks her tongue out at him.]

Let a girl pretend she's making progress, okay?

( sticking his tongue right back out at her. because they're both adults here. )

I'll tell you his real name, if you can do me a favor.

You and your favors.

[She says it so dramatically that it's clear she's teasing.]

But you're feeding me, so okay. What is it?

My favors're all important.

( another forkfull of pasta. )

Keep me updated, since he's opening up to you.

Okay. I can do that.

[Kate shoves a forkful of her own pasta in her mouth, and... yeah, okay, she's impressed. Good job, Jason.]

You have to keep me updated, too. I want to know how you're doing.

( he wants to give a stupid, ridiculous name but also: that'd get caught onto too fast. kate'd see through it, probably. so jason instead goes with: )

Jim. Dickie calls him Jimmy.
