I'll tell you if it's uncomfortable. I'd have done so now, if I felt the need to.

You aren't bowling me over - you're being kind, in a way not many are in the city. [It's not intended as a dig on the LIERs of Duplicity. Elle's unique. He truly hasn't met anyone else as determined to uplift the people around them as she is.

He's willing to entertain that, while unfamiliar in this respect, it's something that could be good for him, coming from her.]

Kindness can be lacking in a lot of ways around here. Someone has to make up for it. ;)

I could always send you a reminder for when your compliment may be approaching so you're not caught completely off guard.

[At that, he laughs openly again.]

I do like working on a schedule. You can always be as prepared as you can be, and have an idea of what to expect.

But for this, maybe it's better if I don't.

That is a lot of responsibility you're handing over to me, Dr. Saville. I promise to use it wisely. 😘
