Luke starts a bit, looking over to the glass where he knew they were being watched. He knew but having her talk about it so casually made it sound so much more real, maybe she was running the test? Or at least working with them. Yeah, that would make sense, obviously.

"Um." His eyes wander back toward her, not afraid or alarmed but obviously uncertain. "It's fine? Unless you think one of them should come in here..." What was the right answer? Maybe she didn't want to be alone with him? Seemed perfectly reasonable. Maybe he could fix this.

"Sorry. I'm just surprised, I guess... I didn't mean to be weird. I was just expecting I'd only be talking to..." He makes a nonspecific, half handwave, "you know, other people like me. Just trying to get in."
