Dream room

Thank God you didn't ask on both knees, I just recoiled.

You have far more class than that, love. I know that!

[He yelps when he's picked up, though it's soon followed by a laugh as he playfully swatted at Alfred's shoulder.] You and your brute strength-!! My days, you're going to end up giving me a heart attack lifting me so suddenly. I always feel as though you'll slip up and drop me!

RELAX

What .

You said you had a business trip. Is this how I find out...?

Love, I know you would never do such a thing. I'm sorry for adding to your discomfort.

I was going to reveal that I was only joking! [He quickly wraps his arms around him in a hug, nuzzling against his neck.] I know you'd never hurt me in such a way, my dear. At least I hope you wouldn't.

Ah, no. It isn't my faith in you that is an issue. ...Deep down, I fear someday you'll...become bored with me. But it's an irrational fear. You're a loyal man, you've never given me a reason to doubt your love.

....You can have it in your Hero cave in the basement.

Green walls, crystal chandeliers and grand curved staircase — this home is a classic masterpiece.

Come home immediately.

No, no... Quite the opposite.
