[Any emotion that isn't tempered is an emotion that can be exploited. Rage that renders you inferior or happiness that exposes your weaknesses. So, when Heero comes up to greet him, Rhade drops down casually and straightens out his coat.]
Heero. I see you've decided to brave the flood.
[And what comes with that statement is a huge dose of happiness. Rhade didn't have any family on board, so a bunch of humans had been shoved into their place and Heero had the misfortune (or fortune?) of being one of those humans. Were it anyone with a weaker sense of self-control he'd probably end up getting a hug about now. As it is, he got a smile.]
