He knew what Tim meant, understood how he felt. His own detective work could keep him busy and distracted for hours, days, and even weeks. Hell, he'd once been so out of it, focused on the task at hand, he hadn't realized he'd eaten nothing but pizza for a week straight.
But he was also fully aware that that wasn't healthy. He'd burned himself out multiple times doing that and knew that breaks were needed. He thought that was the difference between him and Tim. He burned out more easily, more often, and thus had learned the value of taking a break from work, even if it was work he loved.
He thought about saying life wasn't supposed to be simple, that it was meant to be complicated but he wasn't sure how much that would help. Then Tim suddenly wanted to go to the arcade now and Ivan blinked.
"Huh? Uh..." he frowned faintly, clearly confused, having not expected this. "I mean is it even open now?" He was also starting to think he wasn't going to be getting any sleep this night.
As much as he liked pizza, drinking, and playing games, it felt far too early for any of that but he also couldn't recall the last time Tim was so eager to just goof off and not in some science way that could also double as work for his best friend.
"If it's open," he continued, "I guess we could go?"
