[Kimblee's grip tenses quite a bit against that cup of coffee; he's fully aware of what Archer is getting at. They've had arguments in the past before, regarding replacement and how much Archer dislikes it; that had been what caused the initial fight between them back in February. His voice, however, remains very calm; he isn't going to get riled. There's no sense in it.]

[He shifts his grip again, tapping his fingers gently against the cup without moving to drink any of it.]

And Isaac is staying with me, yes. He has been for a while.
