He just has to work a little in what to say, especially with a friend that is working so hard to make the event pleasant.
"George was a good man," he says after a moment. "I wanted to be a part of remembering that, even if it wasn't always easy."
Not that anything is really easy here, but he owes the man that much at least.
"Thank you again for helping set this up. I think getting together away from work is good for us...I just wish it was better circumstances."
Which brings fo mind George and Nick's poker party, and...ouch. He can't help but wince, and his scarred fingers tighten for a moment around his glass.
