[Newt had just managed to put away his stuff for the day when Joaquin knocked. He had already explained to Hermann that he was going to hang out with Joaquin for a while, which Hermann had accepted without question, common as it clearly was for Newt to chat with the man on the phone (he probably felt they SHOULD just go hang out and talk instead of trying to have hushed conversations in Newt's bedroom which didn't make it sound far more awkward than it was AT ALL).
In any case, that knock had to be Joaquin. So he kissed Hermann on the cheek, made sure he had his phone/wallet/keys/etc with a quick patdown of his person, and promised to be back before bedtime with a playfully added dear tacked on the end that, after he had turned away made him wonder if that was a bit too much, too soon after his failed not!proposal--too married when that was not something Hermann was ready to be.
It was indeed Joaquin, and he stepped out, and shut the door behind him.]
Hey! You know, I could totally come to see YOU one of these days; you seriously don't have to make the trip all the way out here for me.
