it's really interesting to me that everyone seems to be interpreting Vox's "Partners...IN BUSINESS!" as Val not wanting to be partners with Vox. if anything I'd go the other way! that read to me like a man who shut down talks of an actual committed relationship & is now trying to cover his ass about it. Val seems like he'd def be interested in an actual relationship with Vox (and in my paranoid delusions, a ring on it), but Mr. "Our Brand Is Perfection" definitely seems like he'd be more reticent.
