Bruce blinked- the fact that the guild's ultimate target had taken a notepad out, of all things, only to scribble down notes by hand, seemed just a bit ill-fitting to the whole scene. 

Although Bruce had been addressed maybe twice so far, he still didn't feel any inclination to act based on Yzeira's suggestion. Inevitably, he found himself adapting, if only slightly, to the pressure he'd felt when the patriarch had first appeared. 

Like Alvios, Bruce was internally counseling himself to hedge on the side of caution and be patient, though for slightly different reasons. Sakki afforded Yzeira a recognition not given to others, and so Bruce held.

Something between an exhalation and a huff of laughter escaped Bruce.
