Thank you, my dear. You’re very kind. I miss them, but fortunately - or unfortunately? - one of my friends is here. I’d rather he’d be safe at home, but, I’d rather be home, too!

[ He shrugged a little, as if to ask, what can you do? ]

I think everyone was able to take a little bit of home with them, here. Maybe it’s to make us hate being kidnapped less, but. I’d rather not have been taken at all.
