Assuming this was a party, yelling would only enliven it. What kind of parties do you go to that are quiet, Gil? [Boring ye olden timey parties, she bets. But who knows? Considering the way he acts, he might have been traumatized by some really awesome party at some point in his life. That makes as much sense as anything else, doesn't it?]

I'm glad you came. Could I get you something to drink, maybe? I was going to go make some tea.
