Forty years in the future or forty years in the past, he's pretty sure he'd run into a lot of people who didn't like him being himself. 'Himself' is pretty blunt, at the best of times, and downright abrasive and irritating at the worst of times. Frankly, he's amazed that Tosh has been able to put up with him for this long, and that niggling sense of doubt comes back into his mind once again -- now that they're here, maybe she'll realize that he's not worth the effort or the time, and leave him stranded in a place he doesn't know or understand.
Her next suggestion, though, has him smiling again, vacillating right back to happy and eager. "Yeah, I'd like that. That sounds like a lot of fun. I haven't gone on vacation in forever. Actually, maybe I haven't gone on vacation in ever, unless you count the City, which I don't really."
