To demonstrate passive communication, Horatio might respond with a non-confrontational and agreeable tone, minimizing his own opinions and feelings. For example, if the statement was something assertive or opinionated, Horatio might say:
"Sure, I guess that makes sense. I don’t really have strong feelings about it either way. Whatever you think is best."
This response shows agreement and a tendency to avoid conflict, while not expressing his own thoughts or concerns.
