[Ford has had years to process things, but Stan? He's had a few months, and most of it's been on the barge. Most of his life has been spent alone, without that kind of support, so it's still a weirdly pleasant surprise when it's offered so unconditionally.]
Wha-- Really? But this place is terrible!
[Not that he thinks Ford would ever leave him here, but the fact that he would be willing to stay while Stan finished getting Rhys to graduate kind of stuns him. He still can't help wondering why the hell Ford would want to do that for him, even after they'd made up.
...But then he remembers where they are and what's going on, and he laughs to cut some of his own tension away. He already has confirmation Ford's telling the truth.]
Heh. Guess that's a stupid question right now, huh? Unless you're hiding something in there better than I was.
[Stan grins and gestures to his mouth, clearly kidding around now.]
