[Even if gratitude doesn't feel enough for what was done for him. It's too late to change now.] Thank you for letting me talk about him. It means a lot to me.
[With nothing physical left to remember him by his memories of Duncan are all he has. Being able to share them with someone is like keeping him alive in a small way.
His cheeks are still slightly flushed as he glances down at their hands but it's more of a pleased look than embarrassed. It's nice, just being close to someone and feeling like they care. When he looks back up at Mystique his smile turns playful.]
So I guess that's my quota of complaining used up for, what? The month?
