I wait in anticipation for him to answer me but I know what he just discussed with the Admiral as I have studied all his expressions. The one that is currently on his face is that of a Navy Seal and that must mean only one thing.
He then walks slowly to me and sits beside me on the carpet. He then stares into the fire and he says with a calm voice.

I put my hand on his back and then he turns to me.
