[ The roof was a miserable plan. Yes, Scout would have done better had she known more or what he was going to do, but so much of what he did that day were all snap judgments, decisions made in a split second. Escaping, saving who he could, putting Lambert in danger, taking the risk to trust the butler, to disappear from the ball—
He won't say as much.
Wouldn't it just come off as complaining or bragging or trying to make up excuses? Though it's the last part that actually makes him frown, breaking through the bored look. It's like a thorn, an insult, that he isn't trustworthy, that Lambert is actually blaming him for his capture (or so he has to assume, from a comment like the dragon one). ]
Ah, but you're right. [ Only he agrees with Lambert, doesn't refute, and sets his mug of tea aside, untouched. He hasn't even had a chance to try it. ] You shouldn't trust a shady bastard. Now you know better.
[ And with that, he pushes away from the spot he'd been leaning. ]
If you require further help with anything, I suggest you ask Strange.
[ Then he's gone, two steps away and into the nearest shadow. ]
