"Have a seat, Mrrr. Rrrussco," she said calmly and sat herself.  Once he had, she leaned in a little to show she was interested in everything he had to say.  Her voice remained calm and intent on what he had to say.  "Firrrst of all, I'd like to congrrratulate you on getting yourrr team out alive.  You werrre in a tough situation and you pulled them all out.  That's a verrry harrrd thing to do, and I'm imprrressed."  She was very sincere about it.
