The words snap him out of his shock, and even without the tell-tale twitch of his ears, tucked as they are neatly beneath his hood, it's obvious that he starts slightly at the sound of them.
"You avoided the question." He finishes smoothly - he knows he can't hide the way he flinched, but he hopes that by pressing on he can at least make Theo forget about it and not ask too many questions of his own.
"Are you well, my friend? If I report back to Mistress Alisaie that you refused to answer for your current state, she will return here herself."
He's not above using the fear of Alisaie to keep the conversation on the right track, even as his mind races at this new revelation.
Would Theo believe him, if G'raha told him without evidence? Would he be angry to learn the identity that G'raha has hid from him, since he can't very well reveal such information and still keep it hidden, can he?
More importantly, is it fair to tell him when G'raha still has every expectation of sacrificing himself for their cause?
