T2: What, like... (reels off absolutely perfect therapist-speak response... something like "I've talked with my supervisor and we have agreed that, given that our therapeutic relationship has ended, it is better that we do not have any further contact")

Luc: (laughing) YES! Exactly! ...you're so good at that!

...and then we both laughed together for a bit.

It was nice.
