He's one of the truest of friends, that's for sure.

[He could've gone on too about ways Gladio inspired him or impressed him. The man could be terribly sensitive, but that was part of his charm. He was this large, bull of a man that could quack a mountain with his roar, but had such a tender spirit underneath it all.
