Of course you've been busy. But you need someone's help, whatever you say. You can't deal with this on your own. *more quietely* Henry, you know I've met this alter ego of yours. I know you need to stop this.
"I thank you for your concern, but I've been doing quite well so far..." If quite well is miserable, perhaps.
"... have you? Of course you have, you wouldn't know if you hadn't." He curses some under his breath, an incredible thing for anyone who knows the saintly man well. "I know. I'm working on it as hard as I possibly can. But since you've met him, you understand why I cannot accept anyone's help."
