The end of the quote was this, and it does make a difference.

Sorry, my segue was a bit sloppy. I wasn't really addressing the specific language I clipped but the two of you, in general. That language just focused the notion for me.

What's the tight pod in the metaphor, btw?

My metaphor wasn't so clever or so precious, either. The peas and pod were intended to convey similarity and the tightness to convey discomfort with the proximity. Actually, itchy came first to mind but tight seemed more apt for a pod, and equally uncomfortable. I'm imagining these two peas continuously elbowing each other to move over.

I can recall when you two were friends, or a reasonable facsimile.
