This was even further into the realm of the unexpected, but you'll go with the flow.
"Yeah, sure," you say, nonchalant, but another point comes to mind.
"You know, this is such a strange day. First, I wake up like I'm wondering in a daze, then you, one of my oldest friends, is all of a sudden interested in me. Pardon my rudeness, but is anything... different going on? I feel like I'm the oblivious part of a joke or something." Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, as the saying goes.
