He can't decide if it's better or worse that she agrees he's a shithead. At least he doesn't have to convince her, but then what the fuck, Jack just gets the free pass because SHRUG, boys will be boys? And that it's Kaisel's fault for trying to play tractors when the game is clearly dinosaurs and Jack is the one we don't wanna make fussy?
Fine, he's already agreed not to play with Jack again, but it still rankles something in him.
She's backing up, and like an unpracticed dance he steps in to fill the space, his hands falling in front of him and gesturing out in a frustrated demand for clarity. "What are you talking about?" It's his turn to get to ask that now, because he definitely does not get it.
"Saw what?" he presses, but gentler now as he's trying to understand. She... saw that Jack's an asshole? Sounds like she already knew. Is she worried about having to pick between the two of them? Concern and confusion crease all the edges of his expression, and now he reaches to reclaim her hand softly. He wouldn't make her choose that. "Look—Caly, that's all in the past. I'm sorry I brought it up, I just didn't expect to see him is all. I can deal, I will."

Kaisel
I'm just smiling down upon my enemies
Wearing a watery blue, faded and stretched-out sparkling hair tie on his left wrist
