"I try to assist him the best I can. During performance week I am up before the sun to best utilize time before performances start." Strange isn't wrong. He knows Childermass takes on a lot but he's already said that a moment ago. Tyki tried to take on a lot of the conman routine to alleviate stress if not all of it but he's sure Childermass handled some things on his own. It's the only time he's ever up that early and especially after the manor incident he's grateful.

He laughs as words tumble out of his mouth, "No great loss? My friend, you thrive on gossip and so do I. It strains me not to talk about the boss but I have a high respect for him. Unlike Childermass, who hides everything about him so well, your emotions are easy to read akin to a book. You're disappointed just as you were torn and almost looked as if you were grieving for some reason around your wife."
