A long running but partially forgotten character interaction
Ted is of important heirarcy standings in a kingdom amongst the water
While vallorie is a simple receptionist and archivist for things unknown
Ted and Val have always had some kind of mutual respect for each other but at the same time almost seems like they really don't care for the others attitude problems
Val's Curt dismissiveness towards that she finds a nuisance and waste of time (since she doesn't have the time or energy to be screwing around) can come off as rude and lazy to Ted
Not to mention her sleeping all the time because of the hours she works
And Ted's more strict disiplined demeanor just seems pompous and judgemental in her eyes
But they both have two major things in common and that's that they prefer to call things how they see them, sometimes unapologetically
And they both are hard workers in their own right
So in that sense they are basically advice givers to one another always asking the others opinion on something just in case, because they know that a clear answer will be given
And with Liz sorta being the mediator and third person in this trio it's easy to call her the only one who has to be supervised at least for the time being
Unfortunately after some...incidents involving a strange rogue man, a nightmare, and some legal issues, Val found herself in a strange position
Her and Ted haven't talked much since, due to him having his own issues to deal with, with his country and Egypt having disputes and it's eating up all of his time
