[Phoenix smiles somewhat sadly at the mention of these little things - the ringtone, Charley... Well, at least one of those things can be replaced.]
I miss Charley too. But at least I have Charley II here. [He is of course referring to a much smaller rubber plant, not even close to the same species as the actual Charley. He's not sure he could find a slender palm lily here anyway.
But he is more or less in an okay mood so far, even if they're talking about things they miss. The little things do add up, of course, but in a way, talking about them is easier than the obvious. He takes a bite of the food, pleased to find that it actually tastes pretty good. His eyes light up with the taste.]
Hey, not bad! [It's better than what he can do, at least.]
