"Well if you don't want to go now, you can just say so," Rodney says, reasonably, if a bit tetchily. He sees that 'scouting' comment for what it is. A stall. "You were the one so enthusiastic about it a moment ago. I merely thought that since you were attempting to convince me of it and I'm not currently in the throes of a project, that this was another one of your spur-of-the-moment schemes."

Yes, schemes. One of the ones that Rodney is going to avoid saying he enjoys at all costs.

"I didn't realize it was going to go on for more than a day. Maybe I'm busy today."
