He couldn't remember every bit of their conversation, but certainly enough to ascertain that it hadn't been going particularly well. The fact that he appeared to be at least somewhat amused this time made the Vint feel almost hopeful.]
[Almost.]
Such a delight it is to have accrued such an adoring public. I have missed this feeling. [He fixed a twinkling sort of gaze onto the video of the man, then winked.] And you too, of course.
