"Not from each other! Not taking a break from each other. I mean like... fighting crime. Fighting aliens, and stuff." Mark gestures around vaguely. "...Mostly you. I meant you, you know."

An awkward silence settles in the bedroom. To combat the awkward silence, Mark bats a plush bear out of his way. "You know... just... to be sure you're okay. I just want you okay."

Mark finally decides to sit on the soft mattress. It's rare that date nights don't conclude at his own house.
