[It's sweet, Goodsir thinks, to see someone so enamoured. It occurs to him that he's seen more declarations of romantic love in his short time here than he has ever before in his life. Is it perhaps a trifle inappropriate? Certainly. But it's still heartwarming.]

Oh dear, bossy are you? Well, you'll have no backtalk from me. I'm rarely very cheeky.

[Goodsir doesn't consider the sentiment corny at all. No, he just looks at Koby with dark eyes and smiles in perfect understanding.]

Yes. Yes, I can see that. I would only ever caution you not to let your good heart prevent you from looking after yourself.
