[Given the opportunity, maybe, someday, Ginko will be able to tell Hector how glad he is that they did end up getting to know each other... even if the circumstances absolutely sucked. The risk of getting 'dragged down' has never really stopped him from latching onto the opportunity to maybe help someone, even if just a little, and he doesn't intend to let it now.

Ginko's expression brightens, though, when Hector speaks up again.] Epsilon? He's a pretty great guy; probably one of the most patient people I've ever met, especially considering what kind of crap he's been dealing with for... most of the time we've known each other. [You know. The whole horrible monster peninsula thing.] I think you'll get along. You'd have a hard time finding someone more compassionate or easier to talk to.

[Maybe he should exercise a little more discretion in how he talks about Epsilon, but-- listen. He's only speaking the truth here. There's nothing weird or suspicious about that, and it's fine.]

Oh, just, uh-- remember that wood, paper - things like that make him pretty uncomfortable. Part of being a nymph.
