"Yeah, well, I think it might be," Karla said. "Ben, you're one of the best people I know. You reached past all my inner barriers and got me to trust you within a matter of weeks. You might be a giant ball of repression, but I'd offer you a contract in my Court in a heartbeat if I thought you'd take it. You're the kind of person I could trust my people with, Ben, and that's not something I say lightly. So you'll have to forgive me if I think that it is a big deal that you're not included, okay? It's stupid!"

Karla, your pep talk might go over better if you weren't glaring at Ben as you delivered it.
