[ 'Petty' is one of the first words Krouse would use to describe Tattletale. It's odd to him that Amy doesn't think it fits her, given what he knows about their history.
But that's the catch. What he knows is a snapshot out of context. What he's filled in around it is a series of progressively less educated guesses tapering into pure speculation.
As he can tell from even this brief interaction, the Amy he's talking to now has changed from the Amy he tenuously 'met' back then. There's something he's missing between Amy and Tattletale, a shift in the personal and power dynamic. She's talking about the other girl like she knows her.
The prickling on the back of his neck isn't going away any time soon. ]
I know you have experience with her. I just felt like it was a professional courtesy to share my perspective as a former co-worker, so to speak.
But to risk being tediously obvious, you've got a stronger negotiating position with her than I do.
As long as I'm not involved, it's none of my business. And I'd prefer not being involved, to the extent that's possible. I doubt there's much I can bring to the table on this particular subject anyway.
