He nods, standing himself though a little more slowly as he's displacing Alex. He'll take his hand and give a decent handshake, no fronting involved, "Sounds like a plan. I'll let you know if something else comes up. Fitz is generally fine, but you never can know what will happen and he comes first."
He takes a moment, just about to walk him to the door when he adds, "Sorry, if...I seem like I'm not grateful. I appreciate your help."
That gets a soft laugh as he walks towards the door.
"Abel, if I wanted gratitude, then I went to the entirely wrong profession. I want you to be able to face the day better. To cope better. To learn. That may mean that you fight me sometimes, and that's okay. I'll still be here. There's no need to be grateful." He steps out the door.

He stands and extends his hand.
