No. The relief on his face whenever someone gets it is obvious
enough. It's a weight lifted. He could use more of that.
He knows I hate what was done to him, and he also knows I think it's
bullshit when people expect him to change yet again instead of accepting
him as he is. Both things can be true.
I don't call him mad, generally. The fucking Admiral called him Mad
Sweeney when pairing us, and I was pissed off about it. But I don't
necessarily think there's anything served by dancing around the words,
either, as long as I'm not flinging them at him in a derogatory way.
Mostly, I let him use what words he wants.
