Honestly, this would have gone a lot smoother if Handy had simply told Joachim what he was going to do today, and while a part of him regretted not doing so, another part enjoyed seeing his friend squirm. In the end, though, that wasn't why he kept his mouth shut. Joachim was placing his trust in him, and what was more, he had told him to prove he was a friend. To keep his trust, that was exactly what Handy planned on doing. Friends don’t make friends look bad, now do they?
