I doubt that means anything, though.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've found his all-about-the-rock-star mentality to be much more tentative than his brash reaction at the end of last night.

I'd have explained it better if it actually made sense to me, Amy.

No worries! There's no explaining anything more complicated than the multiplication table to me, pathetic as that is.

The status is NOT quo.

I ususally travel with at least three or four wide-ranging choices, supplemented occasionally by a couple of others picked up in the airport, on the theory that I don't know what *precisely* I'll be in the mood to read.
Brenda is me. Last weekend on my plane trip, I took romance, comedy, historical fiction, detectives who fight crime, and Batman and Lucifer comics.
I thought I should be prepared in case I sat next to someone reading any of the Left Behind books.
