Mace has began getting into the depths of the internet. Picking up on memes, slang, references, it wasn't good, for you at least.
If anyone messed up or failed, he'd say "skill issue" without even thinking. But he's started referencing something so underground that mainly you only understood it.
Swagger was typing on his laptop, either a work email or whatever, but it was the stickers on his laptop that drew attention. Swagger wasn't ashamed of who he was, so he wasn't ashamed or scared to put pride stickers on his things, but Mace had to make a joke. It didn't come from hatred, he just thought it'd be funny.
"What're they puttin' in the water?" Mace made an Alex Jones reference. I don't like'm putting chemicals in the water and turn the freakin' frogs gay. The reference that only you understood. Mace even made a point to knock you in the shoulder a bit.
