She makes him slow down every now and then, like this moment, and while he protests it every single time she does, he usually appreciates it to some degree despite himself. He assumes that's part of the reason she keeps doing it.

None of this though - the mechanical appreciation, the snooping into her activities, the momentary pause - means that he's not happy when she seems like she doesn't actually want to just sit here on the couch typing emails to people that aren't him. He had no idea what they were doing - he didn't come upstairs with anything to mess with. Not that he wouldn't be fine with sitting either. He's just. Having a hard time getting into the right mindset for anything at the moment because he can't tell which one he actually needs to settle into. ]
