Rory was happy to be out of his armor and it showed on his face and by his clothes which were clean. "My wife is coming back soon." He said, to Gerald's question. "Got to look my best for that."
"Wife and fiancé." Gerald corrected him with a smile.
"That, I could have done without the reminder." Rory admitted, the smile on his face falling. "I'm still not sure about how all of this is going to work."
Gerald chuckled and patted the man on his shoulder. "It'll work the same way it'll work for me."
"And that is…?"
Gerald looked around and whispered into the man's ear. "We do our best and hope our women stay happy amongst themselves." With that he broke away with a hearty chuckle.
"But… what if my best isn't good enough?"
"It will be." Gerald assured him. "Either that or you'll be a very unhappy man."
"Can… Can I come to you for advice?" Rory asked.
