[Sometimes, being a fool means being perfectly honest. Though he's worried, a bit, that he went too hard on this, and that's what caused this whole conversation. If Varian got mad at him for telling Gil about the scrap metal, it's something he'll weather. It'll be fine. He'll never give up on Varian, never, even if Varian gets really mad at him.]

Oh... you did? Good. That's a relief. Hahah, and here I thought you came to yell at me...

[He sets his cup down on the coffee table, and then wraps his arms around Varian's tight, worried shoulders.]

It's all right. It hasn't happened again, and I'm not scolding you. You haven't done anything wrong. I just... I worry about you. I worry about people taking advantage of you when I'm not around to stop it. I know Jun wouldn't let that happen, but I'm your dad. I'm going to worry no matter what. So, ah, I'm sorry for that.
