He listens to the woman's words with keen interest as displayed in that cold gaze of his that seems to never warm for some reason, even as he stands before someone he genuinely enjoys the presence of. If it's just how he is or that he has ulterior motives is unknown by simply looking at him, and yet as per usual the simple look could be called as invasive.

It is entirely up to Miss Mel on what happens from hereon out.
