[well. when he puts it that way there's no doubt he's still committed to this in some way, and harry feels that flare of fondness pulling at his chest again. after all it is endearing how enthusiastic eggsy can be when he puts his mind to it, mixed with the dangerous combination of harry's need to show off and impress.]
7 pm until 9, Tuesday evenings, how does that sound?

Implied then: my absence prompted your reckless behaviour.
Kindly refrain from inserting words in mouth, Eggsy. You're not a disappointment--your actions are.
You're better than petty crimes or boredom-induced arson. Anyone with two eyes can see that.
[harry is feeling a lot like a scolding parent right now, like this is where they left off before the church and it's uncomfortable to say the least.]

a stolen taxi and an exploded microwave are eggsy's ways of acting out--dealing with what he doesn't want to address. after so long under the likes of his stepfather's thumb, it makes sense to harry. but he meant what he said: eggsy is so much better than stooping to acting out in juvenile fashion. there are healthy ways of letting off steam--of grieving, of feeling disappointed, of melancholy.
harry's only glad he has the chance now to explain it.
he's in one of his suits sans glasses, an abject weariness in his face because it is late. it takes a while for him to decide what to start with, silence hanging awkwardly for a few moments.]
This is a conversation better had in person. I'd rather not--leave you hanging again.
