[understood]

Yes. Where were you vacationing, exactly?

[scarrystories]

[ He gives a quiet, somewhat despaired chuckle. ]

I have no idea. I know we passed through Yellowknife, but that's it.

[understood]

That's alright. I'm reasonably sure I recognize the area.

[scarrystories]

You know, when we were in that room I thought maybe you were upset because you recognized it and noticed missing trees or something.

[understood]

There were signs of human encroachment on habitat I had hoped would be protected by now, but that was hardly my focus at the time.

[scarrystories]

[ Andy's just gonna kiss him again. ]

[understood]

[ Kisses are always welcome. ]

[scarrystories]

Do you wanna go upstairs?

[understood]

Won't Junior be home soon?

[scarrystories]

Yeah, probably.

[understood]

Perhaps we'd better not.

[scarrystories]

Yeah.

[ He kisses him again and then moves to get up. ]

Do you want a cupcake? I made so many and I'm not sure I know what flavors I mixed.

[understood]

Well, then, perhaps I'd better have a few in the spirit of inquiry.

[scarrystories]

[ There's a lot of banana chocolate, and vanilla chocolate, and mint chocolate. Most batches have chocolate because that's a comfort flavor. But there are a few ones that are just vanilla, those are decorated with a wolf. For Dief. ]

I know that batch is chocolate-free.

[understood]

[ Dief is out roaming the woods, but he can have one when he comes back for dinner. ]

I'm sure Diefenbaker will be thrilled.

[ Fraser is cutting one from each of the different batches into quarters so he can try them all, and then he takes the other 3/4 of the banana chocolate to finish. ]

This banana chocolate is really excellent.

[scarrystories]

I'll make more of those then.

[ He takes one of those now that Ben's identified them for him. ]

[understood]

I think there may already be enough cupcakes here to feed a small army.

[scarrystories]

I'm really sorry. I'll take them to Daniel's, he's running this thing for uncontracted subs.

[understood]

Oh—I honestly didn't mean it as a criticism, Andy. I was just impressed. And I'm sure anyone who's been living on the cafeteria food in the Down will be very glad to have these.

[scarrystories]

I'm not only apologizing for the cupcakes.

[understood]

You don't need to apologize for anything at all.

[scarrystories]

You don't think I overreacted really irrationally, and could have definitely approached my anxiety in a more chill way?

[understood]

I think that if you could have, you would have, and next time you're more likely to be able to, if you think back on this time.

[scarrystories]

You're the best boyfriend.

[understood]

[ Ben makes a bit of a rueful face and tugs Andy closer so he can bury his face in his neck for a moment. ]

Far from it.
