[ Even just that answer, the implication it brings, makes something inside of him cringe a little like he's expecting backlash. Disturb him, an acknowledgement that he'd been actively burying himself in that bond. The too-real out-loud observation that would have him checking around to see who heard it if he didn't already know the city's in devastation.
He can't even snap about it, because that would be giving it even more attention than he wants — approximately none.
He lets it go without response.
Breaking into a store is a reprieve. That's something he can fixate on. A glance to the left and right to make sure no more Bulbasaur or Jenna Jamesons are creeping in to jump on their backs, and then he dips down to take a look at the locking mechanism.
They're not the same here as they were back home. No lock pick kit is gonna get through something that responds specifically to implants.
The good news is they've spent all this time and effort developing how to unlock it, they don't really think too hard about the lock itself.
It takes him all of two seconds to find a hunk of concrete he can wrap his hand around, and about four or five bashes to break the face plate off. It isn't much of a security concern to the owners normally, because an ideal state, this would alert local law enforcement and they'd descend on him in a heartbeat. That's not even remotely a possibility right now.
A little fiddling with the guts of the lock, and then he swings the door open.
Nods Cas in first.
Get your human ass off the street, would you? You're killing him. ]
