Kent let out an even sigh. "Happy? Sure." He didn't want to be thanked for helping get Aktamun into the paper and he resented being called 'grumpy' and 'standoffish'. He was professional! That was how everyone on the paper - and off the paper - should behave.
"Fine. Congratulations." Kent shook his head and turned back to the copy machine, going through the menu functions to set it to double sided. He slid a sidelong look at Aktamun to be sure he was leaving. There was probably a bowl of weed and a six pack of beers he was looking forward to sharing with his friends over at Kitsune.
