[He straightens his features in mock seriousness, clearly struggling to hide his smile.]

I'm gonna hold you to that, kid. You're not goin' nowhere, not on my watch!

[With his two dominant fingers he traces an invisible line from his eyes to hers, his face stern to an almost exaggerated degree, until suddenly-]

Hey! Listen, I may have a sort of favor to ask of you actually... I don't really know how close you and Chloe are ... back home I mean. But, well, as you may already know, she's here. I ... don't think she's had it very good since she got here, she's been in a bad place. A few weeks ago.. uh... she hit a pretty low point. I'm trying my best to help her through it, but I think she may be more willing to talk it through with you. Or not, I don't know...

[He sighs, trying to form his words.]

I guess if you could just... keep an eye on her, or check in on her for me? Make sure she's okay, try to keep her head on straight.... I'd really appreciate it, sweetheart. I mean, I've always got your backs, you're my two favorite dames, but she may need some quality girl talk... well, you know what I mean.

...You know what I mean?

[He smooths his mustache awkwardly and clears his throat.]

Truth be told I probably need some goddamn guy time myself. It's mostly been Chloe and I gettin' chummy before you guys arrived.
