[Sorry to make you put on the professional act immediately, but better to get this out of the way first, right?]

I appreciate it. I know how hard you two have been working toward peace, and the Don would kill me if I were to get in the way of that.

[It's lighter, but also entirely serious. While it may not be great for business, he's certainly not going to get in the way. Yeager has enough regrets about what happened to the Don once before, he's not going to make that mistake again.

Of course, once that's out there, he shifts a bit, fingers absently coming up to toy with his bangs for a moment before he resettles.]

And... you've my personal apologies for all of this, Alexei.

[It's a bit stilted, but it's honest, and that's got to be a good enough start for now.]
