[shaking his head, which he's doing a lot today] It was my fault. I went without letting anyone go with me. Lavi would have called you if it was his choice, I'm sure.
[A dry smile] I don't think Lavi will be letting me in on his activities anytime soon. But if I get word he's in trouble you'll be my first call... if I could have your name, that is. [trying to avoid the first half of that question by focusing on Lavi. He can't involve others in his problems no matter how dangerous things get.]
