... Y'know, I never thought I'd be having a conversation like this with anyone. [Not since Ginko, anyway. There's a smile in his voice.] I'm so used to thinking everything through by myself, it's like I forget what talking out-loud feels like.

Thank you; I'll make sure to keep your words in mind.

[... Heh. And maybe he shouldn't give Marco such a hard time, after all. Damn bastard.]
