[He had a feeling Giru would say something like that, so there's a bit of a wry grin.]

I guess after everything that's happened recently, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't. Besides, I wouldn't be up here making sure he didn't do something dumb if I didn't think him important enough.

He's too old for hugs from me, though. I think he'd like them better from you, Giru.
