[Guy finishes laughing and quickly notices how embarrassed Archie looks. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand as though that will wipe the mocking grin away and proceeds to immediately feel guilty.

He had only been making fun of Anthony. He hardly meant for the Lieutenant to feel mocked.]

I'm terribly sorry about that, Lieutenant. I hadn't meant to make you feel terribly about the mistake. I simply had such a time imagining Anthony as one of those pompous blue-bloods!

Forgive me, good man. Seems I'm the one in need of pardon.

[He smiles at Archie. Normally he wouldn't give a damn about the embarrassment of men in conversation, but there's something about this sailor that has him drawn. He has a light to him Guy can't quite place, but it has a likeness to something enough that Guy doesn't want him to feel offended.

He rather owes Archie for all the help. Laughing won't show that.]
