Oh, of course. But it remained to be seen how long she'd last before passing out anyway.

He nodded, and crossed his arms, leaning against the convenient, nearby wall. That the clock was ticking down and she was just now searching didn't really bother him--in as much as if she missed it she would probably harass him and blame him for it somehow--knowing Vala, she could just pick the poor man (Or woman, even. It was possible) in the last few seconds, and kiss him without explanation. She'd probably get away with it, too.

Not that he was about to puff up that ego of hers any more by saying any of that. Essentially, he was here so Vala could do her thing. Interfere with that, and he'd just wasted his whole evening and gotten his only teammate irritated at him.
