[The concern is still there that what he is would be too much, but at the same time-] Ahab is a better man than me. Everything he's done... I think I told you about that. But he has a lot to deal with. We might have went through it together, but I guess I'm figuring out that we have to heal from it on our own.
I tried though. I did.
Guess I'm actually happy you're not a good person. It means I won't be much of a problem, I don't think. [If anything, it's been nice knowing that he's helped Dorian again.]
[He accepts the shoe with only a little bit of embarrassment for once, because if Dorian has already seen this much weakness in him, having a shoe in his hand and standing on one leg is nothing. Sadder still, much of that has been said to the golden dragon atop the staff. It's not as good a conversationalist as Dorian, but it looks just as attentive.]
Yeah. I'm alright.
[For now, anyway. For a man who drank too much over his guilt. Something he normally doesn't do. He's glad it caught up with him in this company if any. Dorian won't judge him.]

Didn't spoil the rest of the night, did I?
