(genially, almost silly) Well hello Andrea, I'm not warmish, I'm British! And it's quite a surprise to meet you today. I'm Ellery and I'll be your host so just let me know if there's anything I can do for you during your stay here at Ellery Estates.
If you'd like. I'm rather enjoying just chatting, though. Not feeling like something's ought to be done right this second. No runs or chores or crisis.
(false indignance) Nobody lets me have my own joke. So mean, the both of you!
