[ He sits and Buster immediately jumps up into his lap. Will pets him, but his mind is clearly elsewhere. He's calming down now, his eyes blinking rapidly as he sort of 'resets' his emotional landscape. For the moment, any emotional affect has mostly disappeared, and he speaks in near monotone. ]
Second. I've tried not to get too into Neal's...situations, but since it was relevant to Malcolm banging down my door a couple of times, questioning his purpose here- I've heard some things. The boundaries were placed by Neal, Malcolm was merely respecting them. That he didn't want to be the focus of attention when he's having a hard time. That he didn't want to be fussed over. That's hard for Malcolm, as you might imagine, but he did it during that meeting.
Third. How did you tell Malcolm that you understood why Eiffel got angry with him? Because you were just extremely disrespectful about him to me, and I don't imagine you're any different talking directly to him. Add to that the fact that whatever you said could've been misinterpreted anyway, because you both do that.
