[ Hank nods. It's not a bad name. Without the broken nose, Hank can kinda see it. Tiny baby Ezra, always living in his brother's giant shadow. It's no wonder he didn't want anything to do with Kamski, at least as far as he's willing to admit. Can't hate him too much if his dying wish was to reach out to him.
But Hank will go back to pretending he doesn't know that about Gavin. He isn't gonna bring up "hey remember when you almost died" again, he's not a total asshole. ]
Yeah, don't sweat it. I only ever call you Reed, anyway. [ Hank finishes off the last of his steak, setting his fork down for good. ]

[ He makes a vague gesture at the space between them, one that hopefully Gavin understands. ]
This whole thing is gonna change something, but I meant it when I said you're not beneath me or anything. [ He shrugs, though the next bit comes out a bit more serious than he intended. ] I'm here for you, you don't have to go through any of this shit alone. Least I can do for turning you.
