Quasi-retirement.

This is easier for Ellis to take in stride. The quality of their relationship, the role Tony has assumed in the span of time they've known each other, makes this descriptor fit more easily than it might have if Tony had come at an earlier, more hands-on point in time.

Noting the minor theft, Ellis is afforded a beat of time to think of who else might have prompted Tony's relocation to the woodshed: a daughter. a son.

This is not what Ellis chooses to pursue.

"You have a woodshed," is skepticism, equal parts fond and wary. Ellis has seen no sign of a woodshed, but he isn't certain he wants to know exactly where in that tall, gleaming building Tony keeps a woodshed.
