{ He may sound like he's just being silly, but this is all too heart-warming for him to take. He's still getting used to this sort of thing. Gifts. Thoughtful gestures. }
Oh stop it, now you're just making me blush Really though, I'm touched.
[Said as if it's the simplest thing in the world.]
Hey, I spent decades to get my technique honed to the finest of points, just to make the perfect chicken. For birthday cards. Finally you see that the fruits of my labors have paid off.
{ OK he's glad he's texting and not on the phone or in person because that'd definitely get an embarrassing reaction from him. But at the same time, responding to something like that through text almost feels like it's doing Phil a disservice. Not that he's going to change it up now.
To Henry, it's really not the simplest thing in the world. How do these people do it?! Fortunately, these same people have been helping him get better at being more communicative about his ~feelings~ even though every fiber in his being is screaming at him not to, and Phil's one of them. }
I was thinking about responding to that with a joke or something similarly shitty, but now I'm not so sure I can pull that off without looking like a huge arsehole.
Thanks for saying so. I consider you very near and dear to my heart as well.
Then for all intents and purposes It is the perfect chicken 🐔
[Hey, Phil gets it. He was honestly way more emotionally constipated than Henry at his age, so if he's able to respond like this even just over text, he's really not in the worst place even if he does has some way to go.]
Aw, hey. That's sweet of you to say. I'm glad that the feeling is mutual. :)
You have a good day, Henry. Are we still on for drinks this weekend?
