Good. That's good that reassuring him that the ghosts aren't likely to harm him helps. The last thing he wants is for this pocket knifed weirdo to be running around the hallways panicking.
Likely. They aren't likely to harm him, that's the key here. Cyrus doesn't have any actual control over the ghosts in the Office, although what he says is true - they really aren't likely to harm him. However, two of the beings in the Office have a peculiar fixation on pencils, one of which is a monstrous ghost, the other who lives in computers and whose attention has likely been caught by now. The third likes to steal pencils and hoard them for no particular reason and most likely won't be violent about it, but the other two? They'll probably be belligerent at the very least, so Cyrus decides it's in everybody's best interest not to mention anything about the pencils going forward. He can only hope that the younger man - this Judas - forgets about them too and doesn't pick up on the nuance of what he's said.
"Judas, hmm? That wasn't so difficult, was it? Us exchanging names," Cyrus says, despite the fact that they didn't exchange names - Dorian was the one who gave his name to Judas and Judas just offered his freely.
A fact that he goes ahead and explains, "I might have felt inclined to give you mine earlier had you... not tried to stab the bloody walls. But, hhhhh... small steps, I'll take those."
"You wouldn't be the first 'mad man' we've had come into here, and I highly doubt you'll be the last," he adds, sounding tired. 'Which is why I approached you in the manner that I did, and why I don't make a habit of greeting visitors in person."
As if that's the sole reason, or even the real reason.
"As our dear Dorian has informed you, as you pointed out, all you needed to do was ask for whatever it was you needed, or wanted, and I could have given you an answer. Is this how you typically behave when you find yourself in an unfamiliar place, Judas? You start trying to... bully your way around? Because I assure you there are reasons for the way we do things around here, and none of it is to be a pain in anybody's arse. It is a matter of everybody's safety, including yours."
