Oh, wow! Why didn't you tell me about this before?
So when Andrew pads downstairs in the velvet dressing gown with “86” on the pocket, and says, “Any unusual activity on the vampyre front last night?” Gunn doesn’t cuff him upside the head and tell him not to be a pretentious freak. He’s too cognizant of his lousy track record. Andrew moves through a semi-imaginary world but maybe, just maybe, that’s what got him this far. Maybe that’s his survival technique.
This is just fantastic. I love his whole train of thought and then how he applies it to Andrew.
He isn’t James Bond, epitome of suave, but if pretending that he could be keeps him warm and breathing? Gunn can live with it. So Gunn doesn’t roll his eyes and tell him what a dumb-ass he is. He rolls his eyes and puts the kettle on for Lapsang Souchong.
Brilliant ending. I really, really loved this, especially the view of Andrew through Gunn's eyes.
