Jayden grins a little at the idea of being a Terminator, even just academically, because sure it definitely sounds cool on paper but in practice he just ends up kind of looking like a dork. Wearing sunglasses outside at night or interacting with virtual reality that no one else can see are much more ridiculous in real life than on a movie screen.

He's about to make a teasing comment about how there's no shame in recognizing one's limits and using help, even if it's in the form of a dating app, but then Blake directly asks that last question and he falters for a moment. It's another of those situations and topics he has a waiting answer for, but that still doesn't prevent the brief rush of memories and emotions that he quickly shoves to the back of his mind, or the subconscious response of the Horizon environment to his mood as the temperature suddenly drops several degrees.

"I work too much for that sorta' thing." It's a true answer, sort of, or at least one part of an overall true answer, and he says it smoothly enough because of that. He also immediately turns it back around on Blake. "How's the app thing been going? Does it actually work?"
