Darunia grins, and gives the boy a hearty pat on the back - not enough to knock him down, but maybe it'll make him stumble a little.]
Don't sweat it, Brother. Even a man can use a hand now and then!
[And he knows that better than a lot of people do.]

S-Still... [ahem.] You really don't have to do this for me. In a situation like this, I would rather as many people stay away as possible.
