The question sits thick and bitter on his tongue, sharp like nettles that cut just as much as he swallows it down. This last place he thought he might have for himself is no longer his at all.
At least the change is subtle, shoulders going loose, head cocking at an insolent angle, suave grin settling into place. If this is who and what he is to be- then he shall be it. For everyone. He manages to put some mirth, some warmth into his voice as he speaks- it is enough to perk up the guards that trail behind. "Then we shall have to make certain we save as many as possible, yes?"
