Eye contact, in as much as that can happen when one party is wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night. Tobi knows he doesn't need to worry about people getting nervous about his mutation, here, when there are plenty of other weirdos from even weirder worlds...but he can't quite bring himself to shed that extra layer of security until he really needs to. He hates feeling unlucky.

There's a moment of silence where his surprise and lack of immediate familiarity with the word plays across his face; he needs to think for a second about what it means, where he's heard it before.

Then he says, "I'm gonnna be honest, I grew up underground. And even topside it's not like it isn't easy to find a place, or make something temporary."

There are a lot of old buildings in the capital, and the winters aren't exactly like this. Something playful in his tone when he adds:

"I've never just rolled up in a jacket in the snow."
