"Is it any surprise to you that you had to say it out loud?" Olruggio's voice held no venom or anger. In fact, his voice held a certain warmth. As much as it could. And, on the other hand, he was secretly glad that Qifrey had told him something so personal. He knew this guy had trouble expressing his feelings. Just like him. They complemented each other perfectly, which is probably why they knew each other and had stuck together for so long.

"If I couldn't comfort you, I wouldn't be able to call myself either your friend or Watchful Eye. I'm not as good a cook as you are, though. But I'm glad you like it." His face brightened even more. Olruggio walked over to his friend and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Remember to take breaks, okay? The girls won't want to see you incredibly tired. I don't like it when you jeopardize your health either. You're supposed to be an example to them, not someone they can't emulate." He sighed heavily.
