His high spirits plummeted and he suddenly didn't want to go through catching sheep anymore, regardless of his thirst.
After all the appreciation, love and gratitude they admitted, this was yet another moment that showed with great clarity how much they were ill-suited for one another. An exploding sheep story was funny. He knew the fact of it was not, but the story was.
Ben straightened to his full height and shoved his hands into his coat pockets, pushing down his desire for blood. It went somewhere that he could deal with it better because he'd practised many times to force it away. Even though his expression hardened, he spoke with an easy tone because he didn't want to have to discuss this any further. "You know what? This was a stupid idea. Let's just go to the manor."
Yes, go to the manor and try to capture a bonafide serious moment instead of forcing seriousness into this ridiculous task.
