It was probably more important. "I can see how Mr. Knucklebiter's family has grown close to you. You are distant at first, but your are open and expressive as someone gets to know you." {You do not understand, work is work and this is not work. Mr. Knucklebiter's family is 'close' to me as they have an honor system that believes since I had saved his father's life that they are 'responsible' for me, which I have thought has become the other way around sometimes. But at work, efficiency is the keyword, and many do not do like that.} "But does that mean you have not built close ties with Mr.
Knucklebiter. My experience that workmates often become friends because of
common interest and time spent together. It just evolves naturally to
friendship."
