I guess it's good for you that I like dogs. [He's joking. He doesn't think Soushi is a dog but doesn't figure he'll get him to stop calling himself that just yet. He can't help but smile, himself, glad to see the man actually showing some genuine emotion.]

I'll be alright on the couch, Soushi. And please don't; I can get something myself in a bit. You do still need to rest. That's the entire reason I'm here.
