Admittedly the crowds were most of the reason Hermann didn't go along with Newton. That and it was good to reaffirm that they didn't always need to go everywhere together even in the wake of Newton's recent kidnapping. But he dealt with that quiet fear by working on one of his many pet projects.
Hermann made sympathetic noises throughout Newton's explanation and barely looked away from his screen until the phrase 'I got married' successfully brought all of his thought processes to a screeching halt. Rewind.
If. He said if. With heavy emphasis.
Hermann closed his laptop and set it down, leaned back and peered at the lenses of his glasses. Somewhere between Newton coming through the door and returning from the kitchen, the conversational tone had changed.
"What- married on the whim of inebriation? Certainly not."
