I am new to the books, and blame dorinda for drawing me to them
Aw! \o/
I love how Archie both tells and shows us Wolfe's unaccustomed hesitancy in that scene--He hesitated, which was rare, and that "Well...". It is indeed rare, how obviously distressed Wolfe is, and since the situation is not a matter of life and death, Archie enthusiastically rides that distress with spurs on. *g*
Also, Wolfe bringing a package of comfy bedding reminds me of the many times he worries about whether Archie has eaten. Archie, of course, tends to view occasional self-deprivation in those areas as a reinforcement of his masculinity, even though he's also clearly unhappy about it on the inside (even when he doesn't get attacked by bugs).
