[The woman's reaction to Benedikta when she asks for a drink does not go unnoticed by Alhaitham, though he wisely elects to not say or do anything that would indicate as such. For better or worse showing indifference is something that comes easy enough for him, though its never been something he employs as often as people might think.

Still, that's neither here nor there, and Alhaitham continues to maintain his state of placid disinterest until the woman leaves them for the moment to get Benedikta her tea. Once she's gone Alhaitham drops the mask fairly quickly, glancing over to Benedikta as she speaks.]

That's assuming he didn't destroy said information for some reason or other. [That woman, and those eyes of hers... it doesn't sit well with him, that's for sure. Not to mention Kaveh having mentioned to him about his attempt to coax the very same man out of all of this. The pieces are there, but the puzzle that he's trying to put together from it is proving elusive.] It might be something we'll have to take a chance on.
