Stephen smiled almost sympathetically. First he turned his head toward Matthias. "Actually depending on the circumstances I would have no trouble allowing myself to be injured, though you are correct that this is a ridiculous time that no one would actually expect it to happen. The true question in my mind is how would you react." He let out a slight chuckle. The fact that this guy thought that he was some kind of sadist made him laugh a little, whether he was serious or not. 

Then he look back down at Sylvia and his smile dropped. "Please. You are the one who has fun with it, I see it as an opportunity to learn something new about this guy. Normally I'd just talk to him normally, but I figured I might as well take advantage of your fun and actually gain something from it." He closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "If one doesn't learn all they can then the unknown can become their undoing..." At this point Stephen just trailed off into though for a moment. "In any case, sorry to ruin your fun Sylvia." He remained standing there and began to eat a little more of his food.
