[Hank says this with a little more tenderness than he means to. Because while he’s been directing his overall ire at Aurora, she did get him his dog.
A very cute, large dog who currently prefers laying on Gorgug’s ball-doohickey rather than actually playing with it.
And what would Hank be doing without his silly dog?]
I’m okay. [Which is a loaded response — who here is okay? — but hopefully Hank’s clarification helps somewhat:] Haven’t got wasted since Christmas, if you can believe it.
[Not that he’s abstaining from alcohol entirely, nor does he have any real desire to. It’s just something that’s happened, and maybe part of him thinks that doing the stupid missions and not being drunk will somehow give him what he wants, even if the thought is absurd.
It’s enough to get Hank to be good — for now — so he’ll cling to that.
And Hank does get Gorgug’s little joke: it even makes the corner of his lips twist in a smile. He wasn’t drunk enough at Heather’s party to forget everything.]
