[She's clearly entertained by the revelation, but it definitely does ease her mind a little about whether or not he's looking after himself when he's gone.]
That's very sensible of you. If it weren't for the fact that you still frequent such places to begin with, I'd almost think that I had less to worry about when you're out on the road!
[She's mostly teasing, but of course she is always concerned about the seedy places he tends to find himself.
Hearing his "criticism", she can't seem to wipe the grin off her face.]
I would worry greatly for the general health of the person that could resist molten cheese. Besides, it's a sign of a healthy appetite! If anything, knowing that I'm keeping my body in working order should bolster your faith.
[As if to punctuate her statement, she takes another bite of her bread, again covering her mouth when it proves to still be hot.
Once she's finished with it, she hears her phone make a sound. Murmuring an apology as the hand that had covered her mouth moves to indicate a pause in the conversation, she reaches to the empty place beside her and picks up her device.]
I have different alarms set to go off every hour while I'm at work so that I can manage my time better. Since I got home early tonight, it still has a few more to go.
[She's always had a bad habit of getting absorbed in one thing or another when it comes to working. It's an old enough trait that he might remember well how often she used to get so caught up in her research that she would neglect smaller tasks, resulting in a ridiculous backlog. She was also bad about putting off meals in favor of work back then, which she's gotten a lot better with thanks to this method.
While she's muting the alerts, she laughs and moves a bit closer to him, holding the phone between them so he can hear it better.]
I have customized tones for each alert, and I think you'd appreciate the one I've set for noon.
[When she plays it, it's a western-style guitar tone, like you might expect to hear during a showdown.]
No matter how busy I get, or how frustrating my teammates are, I'm guaranteed at least one smile a day.
