[ he catches the subtle nod of their head, but i'm going to take the opportunity to say the shadow is on his blind side, so he's not quite sure what they're looking at... either way: ]

Should I...step into your room?

Well... it's a little awkward to be standing in the hallway, for one.

Thank you.

[ in he goes! he doesn't seem fazed by the decor (or lack thereof). ]

...Are we away from shadowy ears here?

[ and he gives them a single shake back ]

I wasn't entirely sure if the terms still applied to staff, but I suppose that was a little naive of me. That being said... I owe you an apology for my careless actions the other week.

[ he speaks slowly, like he's being extremely cautious of the way he's wording things. ]

No, of course not. It's just that, given his presence here, there's reason to believe the others are somewhere, too.

I do have some regarding why he was locked up... but that's not what I mean. I was talking about the whereabouts of the other signees.

[ he glances around quickly, once again choosing his words carefully. ]

The report from the other side, you mean? ...I'll have to review them a little more carefully, it seems.

[ a beat, before, thoughfully: ]

Your refusal of thanks—is that behavior in line for you, Virgo?

[ he looks at them, pointedly. ]

Is it for you?

. . .

[ he holds eye contact with them for a very pronounced moment before his posture relaxes again. ]

Even if some things aren't exactly adding up, you can neither confirm nor deny my suspicions safely, right? What, then, do you suggest I do with my hypotheses?
