I've no doubt that would please him greatly. Perhaps even enough to convince him to behave himself during his return trip. He can be difficult at times, but he does appreciate being appreciated.
I've no doubt he'll be suitably thankful. And I'm glad to be of help; the months before we can finally fly are usually the worst part of our stay here, after all.

Please don't say that. He'll be insufferable if he manages it.

Nothing wrong with a bit of ego inflation.
[But then his smile fades a little.]
...Okay, I'm not a good person to talk about ego inflation. Forget I said that.

[My, that was a strange reaction.]
There's nothing wrong with small doses of well-deserved ego inflation. He merely... tends to break his monthly quota within a week, if allowed to.

[It was strange, but it made sense to him.]
Yeah...that makes sense. Does he like uh...treats, or whatever? I could give him something when he gets here, for making the trip.

[video] I'm certainly trying!
I appreciate the favor.
[video] Go go go, you can do it!
