No, I mean, not right now. Perhaps another time. Those wounds aren't as old as you might think, newer still. I came here not long after losing the last of me best friends, the best and the brightest she was. I'm still feeling the sting of it. It comes and goes. I won't forget their memories and I'd be glad to tell you all sorts of tales of them but I... I'm afraid I've got no mind to at the moment.
I know things between us are strained but... you have cared for my wellbeing since we knew of each other here, and I should do that same. Whenever you wish to talk, you can call upon me.
It's all I could ever ask for. And I'd hug you if there weren't a table between us.

Of course, you're a grown man now, mayhaps you don't want your father's hugs anymore. Just know you mean the world to me and knowing you understand and are willing to bend an ear should I need it, is very much appreciated.
