Being brought into the strange new sanctuary of the commodore's home is overwhelming. Being offered the use of James's books, loved and prized things that they are, is beyond his merit after such a disastrous return. Being gently assured that a handful of those dearest to him were alive--were alive and capable of coming down to visit him under their own power--was far more than he deserved.
Being so simply handed James's affection and a gentle smile has his entire being trembling again.
"S-Sir."
What else is there to say? What else is left in his mind when this much overwhelms everything from his lips and mind?
