"He does. By the look of things he's going to be very well supported, even with the, er. The speech barrier." That he had very conveniently shortcut past, but he doesn't know if Sheehan has that ability yet.
"But I'm glad you do as well." He tugs Sheehan's hand as he leans in to kiss his cheek. "An inmate coming in with such a violent entrance is going to carry a reputation for a while. And even if you can handle it, it's still going to be exhausting holding the more righteous demands from others at bay. Just make sure you let us know if you're getting overwhelmed."

He gives a soft laugh. "I'll hide your communicator and get John to help carry you out of your office. I'll sit with Max while you get some air, we can reconvene when I've explained to him and then we can go get lunch. Because God knows you won't have eaten at that point."

But he appreciates it all the same. And he would never miss a meal.
