That increasingly familiar flattened crease of the mouth returned, as the reactionary hunter's expression once again became an unamused grimace. What was the point of stubbornly rebuffing him like that? She definitely did count as gone, after all. She'd had to retreat, and thusly remove herself from the situation and location they were all in: Infiltrating the casino. Why deny that? It was her fault she'd went and blown her own cover...

Despite his multitude of complaints at such flippant treatment, he withheld them and simply shrugged it off. He really didn't feel like pressing the argument right now, anyway. Call it an inkling of a feeling, but he was pretty sure it would just go in circles anyway, no matter what points he'd try to make. It wasn't worth the effort.
