Bruce coughed politely. "I don't know, guy's got a pretty good sense of humor."

"Don't tell me you like the dad jokes-"

"Dad jokes? Is that what you call them?"

"Yeah, because like, even if your dad didn't, you knew somebody whose dad did-"

Bruce was very noticeably reticent at this, slowly resuming eating, or rather, moving things about on his plate with purpose.
"You know what, let's... let's just eat and move the conversation off Nina's dad, if that's okay," he said, voice softened and a little apologetic to both of them.

"You're right- god, I'm such a fucking hypocrite. Nina, I'm sorry-"

Nina shook her head.
"No, I... know what Adrian's done, and you don't have to apologize. But perhaps we could talk about something else."

"Like you and Dr. Connors?" Megan said dryly.

Nina turned pink yet again.
"I told you we're not-"

"You're not?"
When he realized Nina was looking at him in incredulous embarrassment, he tugged at his collar and said, "Ah, yes, of course not."

Nina's expression of shock and mortification came on her with so much intensity she turned around and put her hands on the counter to avoid being looked at. (She heard Dr. Banner's short laugh of surprise behind her and was intensely glad he couldn't see her react to that, either.) She cleared her throat loudly.
"Well, perhaps we need not speak of that either-"

"Look, my life's going nowhere fast, I thought yours might be more entertaining."

She spun around again.
"The murdered parents and the homicidal twin brother and the year spent learning spy tricks and you think my - my apparent feelings for Curt are entertaining?" she said with an incredulous gape.

Megan sucked in her breath hard and looked away, hands white-knuckled on the counter very suddenly.
"...I thought the idea was... cute."
