[ hm. qifrey pulls back his hand. ]

There we go. Hold onto that.

[photographists]

Thank you, Qifrey...

( He reaches, wanting to take his hand. He hadn't meant to push him away. )

You always know how to help.

[pedagogies]

[ he smiles warmly, pleased. ]

I'm honoured you think so. I'm glad if I eased your burden a little.

[photographists]

Y... You did. I'll work hard to remember everything you've told me.

( He lifts the tea upwards then, drinking a little before setting it back down. )

What about you, Mr Qifrey? Did you have anything on your mind? Uhm -- is there anything I can help with?

[pedagogies]

Oh, I'm quite fine.

[ nothing much has changed for him. a blessing. a curse. he misses his students. olly. his work. but qifrey isn't one to fuss over that. ]

Just getting by.

[photographists]

Good... I'm really glad.

( He truly means that. )

I know that it can get really rough here for everyone...

[pedagogies]

It certainly can be. We've all seen our share of troubles.

However, our connections help us overcome them as well. So I am fine. There is no reason not to be, when people like you are near.

( For a moment, Basil can't help but point to himself. )

M... Me?

( He looks to his tea. )

... I'm glad that our friendship can help, even if it's just a little.

[pedagogies]

Every little bit helps.

[ and that's true. always. ]

[photographists]

I think so, too... A-And the smallest thing can mean more than people know.

( He pushes himself to stand then. )

Can we... talk a little more later on, too?

[pedagogies]

Of course.

Feel free to stop by any time.
