"You've been kidnapped, probably tortured, and are facing the possibility of imminent death. What are manners?" It's not a snide comment but utterly honest as he sighs, forcing himself to take another sip. "I'm just nosy. Especially when it comes to Inej."

He blinks at that, shifting slightly to sit up more and look at Steve more curiously, even if the look in his eyes is still a bit more defensive than perhaps it should be. "I'm aware of your name, and I know Sam. Inej has mentioned you both."

He snorts and it might be dry amusement. "I suppose this isn't the place to care about suspicions, though if I was our kidnappers from our kidnappers, I would send in some to infiltrate the group as well. Just to know how far the captives are getting on finding a way out of here."
