"A man after my own heart." Bennu's a bit taken aback too, but the only emotion registering on his face is mild bemusement. "Shall we follow his example? The whole bike-and-running offer still stands - just won't be as grandiose now that you've confessed."

That had been freakishly easy, in retrospect, but Bennu wasn't one to question or second-guess good fortune. What would happen, happened, and he dealt with it then. No point in worrying over anything that didn't. That'd be enough to drive anybody crazy.

Or at least, enough to bother them, and Bennu detested feeling bothered. He made a point of avoiding it whenever possible, no matter what that involved.
