I believe he really was setting up that joke. I’m just not sure I believe he has a complete null on you and isn’t trying to fix that.
Idk, I don’t know how much history you guys have together of playing and reading each other correctly. The thing that skeeves me out the most is the way he dances around giving bold takes on you or me, despite being very familiar with both of us as players, and only gives a semblance of a take on me when I’m out of the thread but then doesn’t make any effort to try to solve with me, which we do as town together
