Last minute or so of Picard S1

Hugh (casually walking into the Happy Ending Captain Picard Day Party wearing a nice suit in a colour other than black): Hello everyone.
Elnor: I thought you were dead! You bled out before my eyes, it was really upsetting because you seemed so nice and I couldn’t rationalise your death as the predictable outcome of a bad choice!
Hugh: Sorry you had to see that. I didn’t realise I was going to be okay either. Unknown to me, there were a few remaining Borg nanites in my system that stopped the bleeding and resuscitated me at the brink of death. I’m all better and can continue to help other ex-Bs with their rehabilitation, after a nice holiday to visit my friend Geordi who I’ve kept in close touch with so I didn’t need to ask Captain Picard how he’s doing.
Elnor: Well now I just feel silly. I still wish I’d protected you better.
Hugh: You did everything you could and I appreciated your help. You have earned… this. (Presents Elnor with a basket of perfect little kittens)
Elnor: (incoherent happy Australian Romulan noises)
(Hugh and Picard exchange a wink and a smile)
