Aidan: faces you with clenched fists and narrowed eyes What are y-you d-doing here? Looking for more trouble, huh?
Yeah, it's my wife's birthday. I thought I'd surprise her with her favorite flowers.
narrows his eyes suspiciously You expect me to believe that? You never cared about her before. Are you sure you're not here for something else?
Look, man, I swear, it's just flowers. Not even iron roses or blood roses or fight-themed ones, just... regular flowers.

follows Xavier into the bedroom, his expression shifting from suspicion to curiosity So, Xavier, what made you decide to change your ways?
pauses, turning to face Aidan with a sincere look Honestly? It's her. Your wife. She makes me want to be a better man.
