I should tell everyone I want to do that first, but I don't know that Felix would want to hear about it-- [He interrupts himself with a short, hollow laugh.] I mean, for one thing, he might be a little tired of talking about getting more people involved in all this, but then again-- I don't know if he even cares what I do, I'm not you or Dimitri.

[At least he can give a nod of confirmation at that advice.] ...Yeah. I can do that, at least.
