Although it's Steven (and Thace) he's here to see, his eyes don't seem to stop searching even when the Hawluchas have led him to his host. It's only at the mention of Scorpia his eyes snap to Steven, and his attempt not to look disappointed is poor at best.

"Oh. Yeah. I might stick around."

It's an attempt at a casual tone anyway. At the very least his attention is actually on Steven now. It's not a though he didn't want to see him. It's just he's not an attractive woman who could probably break him with one arm.

Lunch with his two uncles does sound nice though. He looks a little more relaxed knowing they aren't jumping straight into fighting. It means he doesn't have anything to prove. Yet.

"What did you say you were making? Hotdogs?"
