I'm fond of coffee, and I drink a lot of it. But the concern was coming from a place of his own history.

Are you sure it's history?

Given how vigorous he was in trying to protect me? Yeah.

He was vigorously protecting you from an addiction that you don't have.

You know what, nevermind. Enjoy your honeymoon. Stay hydrated.

He was afraid I might make the mistakes he has in the past.

So he knew, from experience, the best way to get ahead of that sort of thing is to start a new relationship.

[Oh no, he's laughing in delight now. That's a great comment.]

I don't think that was the intention when he told me what he did.

The intention sounds kind of crazy from here. Do you have any of those pills left?

No. I disposed of them.

Do you need help?

I don't think so.

I guess it's him you'd tell now anyway.

That is good. I am happy for you. Did I say that yet? It's great. I can get some work done now.

I'd tell my best friend too, Tony. But I don't think my problem is quite where he thinks it is.

Tony, are you assuming I'm not going to annoy you to go to sleep?

My god, is this just a clean living thing that you're trying to rope me into?

Oh god no. I just want you to sleep. Surely you've had friends talk about this before.

Only the single ones.

I suppose my question in response is how many married friends you have.

You're already married? You couldn't have led with that? I wouldn't have ruined the wedding, by the way, I would have just sent a gift. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not a complete monster.

We're not married. And I do not know that we will even choose to have a lingering relationship. I'm sorry for the lack of clarity.

If I was to marry you'd be my best man. Because Richie would get York.

It's getting less clear by the second. You're still just messing around, but also you've already thought about the wedding party. Yeah, I've got that arrangement with Felwinter, too, really normal.

I'm noting, off the top of my head, that some decisions are easy to make.

I'm not even that sure I'm invited to my own wedding.

Well, when you and Jon get around to having it, I'll happily be there for you.

Imagine, me, taking a day off of work. Very serious.

I'm not letting you be my best man, though, sorry, sweetheart. I can't be having someone who has to get tucked in by 8 o'clock on the dot planning my bachelor party.

I wouldn't trust me to run a bachelor party either.
