[ THANK GOD he was actually worried. not like he doesn't, because he absolutely does, especially when it's her, but like. he was starting to maybe show some visual signs, and he's just not prepared for that sort of thing, okay. luckily he's had a new pet or two to deal with.
anyway, he's a pro at not letting negative emotions into things when he doesn't want them to (totally), so at least this time he sounds nothing but confident and maybe a tiny bit (a tiny bit) relieved when he replies with: ] Absolutely. Right now, even. 7:30 lunch break be damned.
[ look, somebody has to act normal, right? the fact that both relief and thinly veiled enthusiasm are seeping through his syllables means nothing ]
