[So he isn't entirely sure what the best way to explain it is. But he does need to explain it. Just... slowly. Step by step.]

[He doesn't need to specify. They both know which night. The night he'd been a total wreck. The night Tempus had finally gotten frustrated with him. They night neither of them had been very happy about anything.]
