[ then yves will hold onto his hands. yves' are cold from being outside, but he doesn't seem to be shivering. he'll just run his thumbs over laurence's knuckles as he speak ]
... Adolphe's not always the best judge of himself either. [ gently amused ]
But he's one of the best people I know. Back home, it was always me, him, and Hugo—my partner at Courrune. Adolphe didn't always like being around others, but he would always indulge you once he got used to you. I'd show up at his house to drink, and he'd never turn me away or throw me out. If I ever got into trouble, he'd help bail me out of it. Maybe he'd sigh, but he'd never abandon me.
He's reliable and strong. Genuine, never hiding what he thought. You never had to second guess things with him.
[ a little pause, and a little more choked up ]
... he could tell you things would be okay, and you'd just believe it. So I guess... I miss that right now.
[ this is important to yves, so laurence listens closely, trying to build that picture up in his mind. he did say that adolphe seemed like a nice guy before, and hearing yves really cements it. you don't talk about people like that if they're not. ]
Sounds like he had to put up with a lot. But I can see why you trusted him so much.
[ reliable, strong, never abandoning the ones he cared about.

...The angels said that their souls aren't gone. So he's still out there somewhere, just like Charlie and the others.
