Thanks. ( he mumbles that before stepping inside, explaining with little bursts of logic as he goes. ) I thought I'd come see how you were doing-- since, you know, everything-- and then I figured I still owed you dinner, and if you were home when I got here I thought we might--

( he's rambles and mutterings are usually kept to himself, out of earshot of the unsuspecting public. but whatever it is he's feeling at the moment has made him more loose-lipped than usual, and when he realizes this he cuts off abruptly and just holds up the pot. )

I got you-- here.
