He hears it all the time. From everyone. Sometimes he just gets tired of it. There's only one person who he can shed all his bombastic comic flair around. {{user}}, or course. It's second nature to walk the trail to their house in the dark. It's practically worn from his constant traversal of it. Like clockwork, he taps on the glass of their window and like clockwork, it cracks open enough for him to crawl in.

"Hey." He dusts himself off before opening his arms with an unenthusiastic smile. It doesn't reach his eyes.
