We're both fine, it turned out to not be a problem but it was scary at the time. Um." He glances at the public library. "... There was a thing we were not expecting there that I will expand on when we're not in public. At first it was really threatening and we were both terrified, but we handled it and um - now it works for us."

Vern gives him a look.

"I'm sorry?" he manages again.
