The thump only means that Foggy is poking in exactly the right places he'd like to. Just for Matt. Verity, from their brief exchange and his assessment, can take it. Whoever has who wrapped over what, he has a feeling that she can get through to Mr. Murdock.

"Be good or you won't get second slices of pie!" Or...what did Verity bring again? Foggy grins and shakes his head. He gives Verity a light, friendly elbow. "Glad you're on board and up for the challenge. He's a handful."

Behind him Matt lets out an exaggerated sigh. Now he can hand Verity her plate.
