[ There was something in how the other seemed to regard him that made him a little curious but he wouldn't ask about that. Instinct told him not to; like it wasn't his business. ]

Ah? There's a likely reason behind that but I suppose most don't wish to question their circumstances and take them as they stand. Others don't even know anything about themselves prior to arriving here other than their names and that they had died. That would be my guess to everyone's carefree attitudes around here.
