How gracious.

Harry was prepared for a violent response. Were he in the same position, he would likely doubt the identity of a comrade killed in action. The Kingsmen knew better than most just how far and quick technology had advanced, their current line of gadgets and gizmos was still the stuff of science fiction in the minds of the masses. Taking the current situation into consideration, a concept as simple as human cloning or advanced android replicas hardly seemed far-fetched.

Still, Harry couldn't find it in himself to chide the boy when he looked at him like that. Seeing Eggsy in uniform he was torn between feelings of pride and guilt, but more powerful was the way his heart ached with relief finding his protégé alive and well.

"The suit fits wonderfully, you look every part the Kingsman. I'm glad I was able to see it."

He looked away, his eyes momentarily glassy behind the bulletproof lenses of his glasses, and cleared his throat.

"Come now, let's have a drink. We have some catching up to do."
