Well, of course Rhys isn't aware. Why would someone like Jack care about the mundane details of Rhys' life? They're business partners, that's all. Jack is only focused on Hyperion...
But it's nice, when he's in here, to pretend a little that Jack cares about him. At least about making sure he gets some rest. He feels warm and comfortable in the soft robe, and as empty as this space is... it makes him happy, being in here. He approaches Jack a little more quickly, though when he gets there, he probably isn't expecting much. Jack's not... gonna hug him, right?
It's totally endearing how Rhys speeds up, despite the obvious question in his eyes. Is Jack actually going to hug him? The AI lets him wonder for a second before laughing and clapping him hard on the shoulder instead.
"Welcome back to the casbah, pumpkin. You just rest your little head and I'll work some Handsome Jack magic on these numbers, alright?"
The happy juice is flowing now, welcoming Rhys into it's chemically euphoric embrace.
Oh. Right, no hug. That would be pretty weird, right? What was he even thinking? And why does he feel weirdly disappointed...?
Luckily, the chemicals don't give him much of a chance to feel awkward, and he finds the weight on his shoulders easing immediately. He feels sleepy and comfortable, giving Jack a sort of goofy, drugged smile.
"Right... I could use a nap. You'll, um, let me know when the meeting is all done?" He doesn't want to rely on Jack too much to fix things, after all.
