Good. I'll back him and Shaw.

[ornithologist]

Thank you.

[fortitudosalutis]

Don't have to thank me for that, sir.

[ornithologist]

And yet I am.

[fortitudosalutis]

Not generally how this part works.

[ornithologist]

Please desist in trying to anticipate me.

[fortitudosalutis]

Just making an observation based on prior experience.

[ornithologist]

[ Oh, that's better. Harold is reassured by the low-level snarky comeback. ]

You'll have to let me know how well I fit the expected pattern of behavior.

[ He's expecting it to be basically not at all. ]

[fortitudosalutis]

Copy that, sir.

[ Maybe he’s fucking with Harold. Just a little. ]

[ornithologist]

[ God bless the breath of normalcy.

Nonetheless, Harold does not deign him with a reply. ]
