"Meryl and Millie!" He's already been pretty content, but the reminder of the insurance girls just lights him up with delight. "They're reporters now, in my world! Travel around with a microphone and camera, getting into everything and recording it all. You're right, they really do run towards trouble. They had an interview with the Nebraska family a couple months back, it was all over the news." For a moment, he looks thoughtful. "I promised them an interview at some point. I should. Eventually. Maybe."
They'll catch him sooner or later, and then give him hell for making them wait. But he'd been sorting out how he even felt about humans for a while, and didn't want to take the chance of impulsively hurting them.
That danger's past now. So why was he reluctant? "But I know you know one of the ones I did mean, if things are the same everywhere. Nick, and another you might not know yet, Elendira. They're--" Obviously he was going to say 'good people', but he looks thoughtful again, and a bit amused. That might not exactly apply, one has a foul mouth and a tendency to spray bullets everywhere, the other was perfectly proper but tended to lob nails. "Well, they're. They're something, when they're not fighting like cats and dogs. But if Elendira's about, she's not very good at keeping the nihilism at bay without something to keep her occupied, so I'm keeping a feeler out in case she turns up."
By the way he talks about them both, his tone says they're both considered friends, and that he cares about them. Equally? That's harder to tell. But Elendira is no enemy, and Wolfwood qualifies as 'Nick'.
