He says nothing to you, only stands like a post in the center of the room. You pace in detective-y fashion, Richard having loosed you.
<span class="mu-i">Fine.</span> "Nice place," you say. "Is it alright if I stand?"
Rudy remains implacable. Gil is throwing you looks. "Okay, whatever. Could you tell me your relation to Leonard Medina?"
Huh. Now that it's not just his eyeball, Rudy clearly reacts to the name: his fingers flex, and his focus slips into the distance. All he says, though, is "Please leave me alone."
"Do you know Leonard Medina?"
"I've never heard of him. Please—"
You sigh. "He's your co-worker? At Headspace?"
Ah-ha. If you thought 'Leonard' got a reaction, you hadn't seen this: Rudy full-body flinches, and blinks hard, and coughs wetly. His eyes are hazy. "What?"
"Headspace? They make manses? You're a lead—"
Flinch. Blink. Cough. "What?"
Now you throw Gil a look. "Um... hold on."
