[York isn't brought up short by much, but they don't cover crying children even at the highest levels of Freelancer training. Still, he hesitates for only a moment before he puts his groceries down, shifts onto his knees in case he has to stay down here a while.]
Tobias, dude. I know you just met me, but believe me, I'm the worst liar you ever met. It's the one reason I couldn't grow up to be James Bond, I'd never cut it. You're a good kid, all right? You're one of the good guys.
[Should he...? No, the kid doesn't know him, he's too scared. Instead of a hug, York pats the blond hair gently, just long enough for Tobias to know he's not gonna hurt him before he lets his hand fall away.]
