but to baren's credit he's shoved off very easily, remarkably obedient for 0.2 seconds when it counts. he doesn't even bother to be annoyed as he's pulling his pants up and watching her rush off to her phone, eavesdropping only because if it's an emergency he's probably gonna just toss his keys at her to take his car—
but it's not so he can keep pretending that he wasn't paying attention at all. it's not really his business.
so he goes back to making two omelettes and flipping through news articles on his phone like he's a 60 year old man in a millenial's body, doing the equivalent of reading the morning paper.
however long it takes for her to be done with her call, he turns an omelette over and yawns]
Am I shoving yours in a tupperware to go or what.
[the honest to shit most roundabout way of asking if everything's okay]
