Then I'm glad - if you feel like you're fulfilled, that's what matters. As long as you're doing what makes you happy, that's all I wanted to know.

[With just as much certainty and probably overt friendliness, he nudges Souza's hand open to hold it properly, grinning brightly.]

No one's ever gonna put you in a cage again. Promise.
