"It was bound to happen one day." He has to talk about the War lightly, really. He wasn't there when it ended. Seeming not to care was a better alternative to –admitting that you were terrified and furious at what they had expected of you, that you saw what was coming and ran because you've always been good at that, good at staying alive– sounding as though being in the dark bothered you.
He grins at Kira's appraisal of Lucy. And then blinks wide when the kid asks that million pound question. When had his subconscious gotten permission make those kinds of queries? "Using, of course. What kind of mastermind do you take me for?" Although if he were perfectly honest –he wouldn't have been able to identify the emotion if it had gutted him like a rusty fish hook, so how was he supposed to know if– the physical aspect of that had plenty of rewards too.
And then stranger still is the kid's admission. "A woman?" he nearly laughs. "How does that follow?" He doesn't bother saying anything about answering to God. Thinking that was just something that scared people did to make themselves feel more protected.
