[lucky for Callaghan, his own is quiet as of late. but...he nods.]

All right. You'd better get going, then, before they start to worry about things going wrong here. [he smiles...no, this one isn't humorless. it's dry, but there's...a hint of warmth?] It might take a while for them to start to trust us with one another, but I hope you know that I have no interest in hurting you, either.

[ And that wa the other reason why he wanted to walk. He didn't exactly tell his family he was coming to see Callaghan, just that he was going out to the barn. They would want to have him chaperoned for this meeting, and while he understands where they're coming from ... This was something he had to do alone.

So he nods a little, awkwardly. ]
