I’ve been doing this too long .

I know。( An eyebrow quirks up, dry reply。Both of them are far far too old for fragility。) Nether forbid a guy starts steepin' too much tea。You can throw it out if ya want, but it's there either way, alright。

⠀⠀⠀ (* shying away from his hand with a huff. ) said I'm fine, phil! it's just ... grown out for the winter, don't overthink. I promise I'm doing alright── as much as I can be. ⠀⠀⠀

Hallooo, ( quiet snort in response, rooting at sungold hair for a moment。) Got ya tea。

⠀⠀⠀ (* scrunching his face into a frown, he nodded. hesitant at first, but then more sure. he doesn't make eye contact. ) I'm fine, pa. seriously, it's ... I'm okay. you worry too much. ⠀⠀⠀

( Nudging gently, wordlessly passing a mug full of warm tea。)
