That’s exactly the words R wanted to hear. “We’re good” are the two magic words. That smile is encouraging.
R buys it. Tim could’ve sold him elbow grease and he would’ve bought that too. It’s the smile that seals the deal, R deciding he can trust Tim and they can resolve this like they’re both people.
“Good. Good’s…good,” R says, nodding and bobbing and his loose eyeball wobbles dangerously for a second. Luckily it stays parked where it is instead of falling out. It’d be one way of ruining the good impression R thinks he’s made. “That’s a…a plan. If you’re…cool…then we’re cool.”
The zombie tries to fix Tim with a stern look, the same one he tried to hit Hoawrd with when he was trying to go “I’m older than you”. Try to impress on him that he takes the cool thing seriously, that…well, he can’t hunt him down and R doesn’t want to, but…yeah. He just wants things to go smoothly for a change, that’s all. It’s not often a zombie and a human can be in the same space and have it end peacefully. Most humans wouldn’t give it a chance. Tim, though. Tim did. It’s one of those unicorn rare things R is struggling to get used to. Satisfied he made his point, R nods again, turns, and starts to slouch away.
