Oh... that's... that's very good to hear. I would have hated to worry any of you, and we've... we've barely had time together and--
[The rest of Giles' words catch up with her and she breaths an audible sigh of relief, her words coming in a bit quicker, words mixed with relief and happiness.]
You have Odin? Thank god, is he okay? He's not hurt, is he? One of the droids kicked at him and I wasn't sure if it connected. Is he okay? I hope he's not giving any trouble?
