Easy, easy, you trying to take advantage of me? [But no, he'll happily take a second shot. He might cut it off there though.] Trust me Yves, the people here take a lot of joy in your company. You've got the lot of them wrapped around your finger.
[ RICHIE IS RIGHT FOR IT HE'S PERFECT because this laugh is what yves needed, after a whole day of tension. he grins, amused ]
I wouldn't say it's like that... but if I can help bring comfort to people in any way, then I'm pleased to do so. I hope you know that you do the same, is all. I'm not happy that we've met in death.... but I'm happy that I've gotten to meet you at all.
