[He's joking. Mostly.]

[Having Abbacchio accept things as they are right now, trusting him, and letting it go for now is enough though to smooth over most of Bruno's irritation. He's been aware that he's needed each of those things at some point or another, but he couldn't have predicted how much he needed all of them at once. It doesn't fix everything, of course, but calling it a relief still seems like an understatement.]

[He pushes off the railing. In doing so, he lets their hands lower, but he still hasn't let go.]

I think it's going to be an early night for me. Are you coming?
