The red haired occupant of the bed is so startled by his sudden awakening that he falls out of bed at the feet of the black clad intruder. "Good morning Dave!"
"Why are you in my house Lars?! No, I don't want to know. Just leave so I can go back to sleep."
"But adventure Dave! And tea. From within his long black coat Lars produces a thermos. He opens it and pours some of the steaming contents into the lid/cup and places it on the floor next to Dave as he sits fuming on the floor. "Now I know you'll see things my way after a nice cup of tea."
"And if I don't?"
"Oh I'll just sneak back into your house in the middle of the night and leave a skunk in your bed, glue all your furniture to the ceiling, or curdle your milk. Something like that. Get dressed and I'll see you downstairs in five minutes."
Dave groans as Lars lets himself out of the bedroom. "Really I only do these things for Dave's own good. He's a computer programmer who made far too much money and now he often does not get out of bed until after noon. Not that anyone else around here gets up much earlier, but it seems to me that Dave needs this sort of discipline. Plus he's looking a little paunchy so climbing over some fences and then running away from a shotgun wielding maniac is a good substitute for exercise. But most importantly a nearly normal person, especially a Dave, is important to witness this enterprise. It is the best way to maintain a reputation as a lunatic."
Lars goes into the kitchen and helps himself to a slice of not too moldy bread to make toast.
