I don't know who 'he' is, but I'm fairly sure he'd agree with me, if he knows you any. You probably make your friends back home very happy.
[He reaches up, patting Elliot on the shoulder lightly. at least it's not a headpat?.]
There's power in kindness. Not everyone has the strength and courage to be kind to people like you do-- it's something to be cherished. Maybe it's a little wishy washing sounding, but it's true.
[A pause, before he ventures, a little more hesitantly-- because he's terrible at this people thing, but the memory of a group of people back home gives him the words he needs.]
And if it's difficult to see it that way... try to think of how your friends see you. Trust their feelings for you, and trust that they'd want you to come back safe to them, no matter what.
