Ver's got no complaints about people doing the best they can in the wake of tragedy. The Manhattan she grew up in was like that all the time. She just prefers places that are a little cleaner than Josie's.

It's good he sounds so fond of Matt, she wouldn't usually let someone get away with calling her Matty anything like that. But from him, it gets a smirk. "Oh, did he? Just the once?" She finds it hard to imagine him ever doing that. Impaired senses doesn't seem like his idea of a good time. But everyone does stupid things in college.

"Oh, he told me what a good friend you've always been, how lucky he is you took the chance in opening Nelson and Murdock, how much you like bagels." Plenty of other things too. "Nothing too embarrassing, don't worry."

She doesn't view it as self-depreciation; to her, it's a simple truth. But she'll take the compliments with a smile. "Thank you." Comparing her to exes would not be a smart move; on one hand, she'd love knowing she wins, but on the other, it'd make her wonder about them. She doesn't need to do that.

"Oh. Right." She still has no idea what he's talking about, but it's so much easier to pretend a little and smooth over these things. It's going to be a familiar refrain from her before long. Anyway, there's something more important she ought to tell him. "So... did Matt ever tell you about my power?"
