We could buy them in trial. So hopefully we'll be able to do that again, even if nobody has one already.

[a pause, and then a nod]

Yeah. Sorry, I keep forgetting who I've mentioned that to yet.

[rosebleed]

Oh my goodness. Rupert!

[HOW CAN YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO HIM ELI]

I'm so, so sorry, that's about the worst luck a guy can have! Are you all right? Do you have friends here with you, at least? Oh, I can't even imagine three.

[agleam]

No - no no no no, it's okay! Well, maybe okay isn't the right word, but... You know. It is what it is. I have a lot of friends! And I bet by the end of this I'll have a lot more. So it's okay.

[genuine!!!!!]

[rosebleed]

Yes but still! Rupert it's a terrible thing to have to live through, I can't imagine the pain you've been through!

[taking his hands in fretful earnesty]

Please, if there's anything I can do for you while you're here, you just tell me straight away. I'm going to kill the auditors for this, mark my words.

[agleam]

...Thank you. I mean it, that's really kind of you.

[the sentiment, he means - he seems genuinely touched even if he's moving past the murder part. he takes her hands easily when she reaches out.]

Everyone went through something really hard, though, no matter how long it lasted. So... That offer is open to you, too.
