Ginsberg eyes Digby almost suspiciously for a moment. It's impossible to think the dog is really listening in, isn't it, but he seems so very aware of the conversation going on around him that for a moment, he can almost believe that Digby is contributing to the conversation in his own way. Ridiculous, maybe, but then, unbelievable things happen all the time.
"I can't imagine anyone throwing pie at you," he replies, and he means it in both the literal and metaphorical sense. The idea of anyone disliking Ned seems laughable, but then, perhaps some of Ned's kindness comes from knowing exactly what it's like to have people be unkind to him.
"The best thing about me..." he muses. He doesn't have a ready answer, and he's not sure what other people would say if they were asked about him. His concern is that nobody would be able to come up with a response, because he seems to be struggling hard enough to come up for a response for himself. Self-esteem has never been his strong suit, either.
"This is probably cheating, but I think my best trait and my worst trait are the same: honesty. You've probably noticed I'm not very good at keeping my mouth shut when I have an opinion."
