Everyone talks about the unbelievable fortitude of the human will to still be horny, but nobody talks about how you can still be surprised. Daniel shouldn't be. He pretty much knew, in that scientific theory way where theory means it's essentially proven. Hearing Armand give this answer, Daniel is forced to take a moment to step outside of himself and wonder why the fuck he asked.
But he knows why he asked, even as he finds himself (somehow) baffled to hear Armand give the answer Daniel knew was there.
Armand doesn't try and come up with something else. He doesn't try to weasel around it. Daniel asked, and Armand has told him, and he's done so plainly. Fact now, a step above theory, and Daniel turns this over alongside the experience of inviting Armand to share something with him and getting a completely frank answer. Okay.
Okay.
"So, big shift from the current setup." O b v i o u s l y. But Daniel is hearing him out, and not dismissing it out of hand, because he asked and Armand answered. "A tactic of starving out the problem versus grappling with parts of it as they pop up."
