Re: After Dinner - Harry and Al
"Anxiety, guilt, hurt pride, regret, and reluctance," Al rattled off an alphabetical list. "He identified them out of an absolutely chaotic mix of sensations and he wasn't even the one feeling them! I was!"
Al paused, grinning. "Then there was also excitement, also mine. And I identified that all by myself as soon as I realized that the standalone sensation cannot be properly classified without knowing the cause of it."
He finished off the rest of his tea. "Soporific, mostly," he admitted. "But that might be due to the fact that I'm down to sixty-six percent of my usual coffee intake as well."
