[Jacob isn't even capable of masking his mild, brief fear if he wanted to. He can't spend time with Agnes while he's there!! But— oh, it's fine. It's fine. He doesn't look pathetic like a kicked puppy or anything.]

I have other hobbies. For instance, when I'm not bothering you, I'm bothering Freddie. [He sets his glass down, sparing a hesitant glance back at the bottle. It wasn't a good idea to pour any more. He could already feel how giddy he was.] Or blowing things up. You could join me and see for yourself.
