[Benedict didn't have an immediate answer. That nervous tic returned full force until Benedict forced himself to place his hands on his hips and then his body stilled. It had been a long time since he'd been asked to hang out with anyone. Of course, he tended to mostly avoid people outside of business and working a case. It made him harder to find.
He thought of Harry though, his one true friend, and the pang of longing struck hard. Not only did he miss the older man but it suddenly occurred to him that he didn't know what happened to the old badger. Harry had only been at the house to help Benedict and the old man had gotten caught up in all the mess. Benedict was certain Houdini had gotten away--handcuffs? really?--but afterwards Benedict had no idea what might have happened. And now he was here in this other dimension, on another world. He didn't know when he'd see his friend again.
Benedict put the guilt aside for a moment and let the longing take priority. That was something he could work on in the immediate passage of time. He offered Marty another hesitant smile.]
Sure, that sounds swell. Campfires are...fun, right?
