I can’t say it’s good to see you, but you’ve grown from the boy I knew, Thomas.
Things change and so do people, it’d be foolish to assume otherwise. It’s always lovely to see you again however. As you can see I decided to take it upon myself to follow in your footsteps instead of my dastardly drunkard of a father’s.
I’m honored. -nods- What did you study for your doctorate, if I may?
