[He relaxes a bit, once Jusis hugs him back. God, he didn't even realize he was tense.

... He's not going to be pulling back for a bit.]

That's all I can ask, really... Thank you. [...] Um. Is it okay if I keep calling you "Dad"? I can try to keep it to just when we're at home, if you'd rather.

[... Partially for the sake of at least looking professional, and partially so the higher-ups don't have that potential (further) ammo to use against both of them.]

[It's a wise course of action that Jusis can agree with. Still, being called 'Dad' does make him happy, even if he's still a little scared that he'll be like his own father to Patrizio. Yet, instead of having that fear hold him back, Jusis will use it as an example of what not to do.]

I'd be honored if you did. Let's keep it to those we trust for now, as well as private.

[He hesitates a little.]

Is it alright if I call you Patrizio? I realize I hadn't asked.

[He nods. Private, and around those they trust. That's definitely the best course of action for now.

He smiles a little at the question and nods.]

It's more than alright. I'd like it if you did.
