As soon as Kyle finished speaking, Lorne looked at him in surprise. In the end, he looked up and down carefully for a while, as if it was the first day he had met Kyle.
"Old friend, I have to ask. Why are you so interested in me today? Impressive. You really have some skills. I guess the longer you stick around, the more observant you get around me."
Kyle directly and selectively ignored the profound meaning and tone contained in Lorne's words.

Lorne nodded somewhat helplessly.
"Actually, I did have some reservations when I said what I said earlier. There are some things that are not easy to tell you.
"But since you're asking this now, I should tell you the truth."
Kyle immediately moved closer to Lorne.
"Hey, if you have something to say, why don't you tell me everything? Are you worried that I, your friend, will spread it around?
