The Augur certainly knows how to work along with you... but I would have left right away. Perhaps I might have needed to ask you about how to change my voice so they could never recognize me again.
[But why is he bickering with Xue Yang about matters like these? To say nothing about how whether or not any other trapped individual wants to...
Well, at least he wonders if talking about it like this can be another sign that he's come to terms with those feelings. He doesn't let himself stew in painful emotions for long, but even bringing it up isn't as difficult as he thought it could be. Whether or not that's what Xue Yang wants should be irrelevant.
Without thinking, he takes the cake box.]
We ought to leave. If someone else arrives right now, I'll need to serve them first.
[And in this new outfit that's definitely more revealing than anything used here before.]
