"Oh, always," he laughs, which actually is true of him. Granted, his priorities don't always make sense to other people or line up with what might be considered particularly normal or legitimate, but he doesn't really care about that. Kate really has been his priority lately, which he knows could easily come off as overwhelming, and he's glad he hasn't gotten the sense that she wants him to back off or anything. Though that might have something to do with the fact that she's had to be the one to come to him, what with him being temporarily immobile.

"It was all a ploy," he says, his tone playful in spite of the subject matter because yeah, it had been a really shitty thing that happened to him but he's come out on the other end okay. Better to be able to joke about it now than be mopey every time it comes up, right? It's not like he'd actually lost his leg, after all. "I really just wanted you to nurse me back to health so that we could almost have sex and you could see me bleed from my nose all over the bathroom floor. It's cute, right? I mean, clearly it's been working."
