The guy reminds him - just a smidgen - of Patterson. He gets that he's being mostly flippant and fun, but it's not behavior Kurt typically engages in with complete strangers. He has to be more comfortable with someone, though he can easily dispense with dry or sarcastic remarks.

He's at least interested enough to see what this guy's about.

"Really." It's just a one-word statement, not even a question. "What made you think I'm the best guy for the job, anyway?"
