[Things she may notice he didn't say: "I will take it as a warning."
He's not sure if he cares all that much. What a harsh name, but accurate, he supposes, to the way he feels now.]
Do you mind if I keep a mirror in my room? [Letting the sharpness of his smile go in favor of a pleasantly rueful expression, he rubs a hand along his jaw.] I'm afraid I'll need one to shave.
[And check for blight. It's part of his morning routine by now.]
