It's alright, I'm great at it. I could ask about weather where you are, if you fancy, or, oh, we could talk about favourite music! I'm wonderful at talking about nothing. And you are hardly an ass, just a bit grumpy, as far as I can tell, and all power to you if you were just brought along! I was grumpy just this morning after a rather bad headache. I had reason, so do you.
You didn't knock it down, dear, so no need for you to be sorry! And I'm okay, yes. As you said, as okay as I can be.
