I nod. At this point, I know exactly how Fox is. When he’s on guard duty, sometimes, I amuse myself by trying to say things he’ll feel the need to reply to. Once, I just ask why he’s so quiet. I’m not really expecting an answer, but he says, “Most conversations are just to fill silence. Silence has never really bothered me.” “That’s so Zen of you. Very Yoda.” Unsurprisingly, Fox said nothing.
