[He knows. Heavens, does he know. Otherwise why else would she have come after him? Certainly not for the glory of taking down his old man. No, because she was terrified of losing the person he is to a newborn god bearing his name and face. She's been there all this time, rooting for him - for them - praying to keep them safe and acting on those prayers, too.
But since she survived and met him again, he knows all will be well.
Not as he desires, but well enough that he can live with it. Ten years is going to be a long time, but it's better than never.
He watches her stomp with mild amusement, a smile creeping onto his face. Even when she swats him, he can't help laughing as he flinches a little bit.]
Ow, haha... Hey now, I did great compared to my first time out! Everything was perfectly under control! Drink or no drink. [Chuckling, he seats himself in front after she's all ready, waiting for her to wrap her arms around his middle for safety's sake.]
I promise I won't drink and drive ever again. Especially not with you on board. That was stupid of me.
[He realizes it now; back then he couldn't because the alcohol was talking louder than common sense could get. Thankfully he's 100% sober today, having not had any of his Christmas booze in at least a twenty-four hours. A record!]
Ready to go? I'll even take it easy for you, okay?
[And with that, they're off! No flying up buildings this time - he even sticks to the speed limit and heeds the traffic signals, being the picture of perfect driving.]
