Part of why I always really liked her friendship with Bobby, the rare times it was emphasized like in the 90s. She was able and willing to be playful with him in ways she isn't always with others, because she was self-assured in the fact that Bobby both greatly respected her and was always able to do what was needed no matter how silly or ridiculous he was being, so without the baggage that comes with a lot of her deeper interactions with other characters, she could be like 'its literally not that deep' when he was goofing off and it wasn't that serious so she's like yeah I can play with this moment and respond in kind (albeit still in her own, deadpan way).
