Ah well. Comfort was never my strong suit. You were always a better hand at that then I.
[ primarily because November was always the spokesman while April kept an eye on thing. Then again, her idea of comfort was drowning everyone in a sea of good food and booze. ]
People keep saying that, but I wonder if it's true.

Those were always my favourite runs, quite honestly. The amount of information and intrigue...always keeps it interesting.

Ah, I'd rather you not. It might spiral out of hand quickly and soon we'll start talking about our greenhorn days.
[ Which, admittedly, were embarrassing for the both of them. ]

You make it sound like that's not your idea of fun.

Although there's little point in waxing nostalgic. It certainly won't get our current job done.

But it does help pass the time in the short term. Humans usually are more inclined to trust a man who opens up a little rather than one who doesn't.

Are they? Best be careful then. They could just be buttering you up.
