A week and a half. And you're still alive. [While left to his own devices??? Honestly, Gal's kind of impressed.] I haven't been here much longer.

[He makes a face when Richard sidles up to him, though, and very quickly reaches the conclusion that he was having a grand old time adventuring on his own before this and he'd very much like to get back to that.]

But, from the look of things we both seem to be doing perfectly fine on our own. I mean, look at you, already reading manuals! [He lifts Richard's arm off his shoulders and gives him a half-hearted pat on the shoulder.] So! I'll just be off.

[He starts powerwalking away, waving curtly over his back as he does. Bye!] Nice seeing you, Richard. Good luck.
