Arsenio raised an eyebrow at Richard Stone getting flustered. But after Dr. Stone's deflection, and the meeting's overall dismissal of the topic, Arsenio was getting bored that his mischief had only gotten so far and lay his head down on the table again.

When Milya spoke up about leaving the meeting, he lifted his head again, "I agree, Miss Tech here doesn't need to be in this meeting, nor do I; I'm just a soldier, and I just follow orders, more so than normal soldiers even, but that's classified information and I won't get into it. What you, our 'esteemed leadership' ultimately decides, I will act upon, but as far as actual decision making, I'll leave that in your...'capable hands'."

Before getting permission to leave, he stood up out of his chair but didn't walk away just yet.
