also relieved? or, perhaps, even happy? (shocking concept for this grump of a man, he knows.) it's hard to tell since roderic nosily pushes his chair back while he speaks, most likely to either get out of it or to check on something near him. ] Not gonna lie: Nearly shitted myself a brick house first time I found myself... there.

You doin' alright though? Sounds like you got some firsthand experience to know this stuff.
