"I don't know how your listening comprehension's going in there champ," Tendo strolled behind Newt's head, somehow in the room once more despite having left mere moments ago, "Hermann's gone." Wandering back into sight, he leaned into his hip and turned, hand poised on his hip theatrically.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Gottlieb can't come to the phone right now." Tendo, who wasn't there, put a nonexistent hand to his ear miming a headset."Why? Oh--" a sickly sweet chuckle completely incongruous with the man's normal demeanour and layered with the laugh of something decidedly not human. "Because he's dead."
After a moments pause to let the joke land he shook his head, dropping the bit.
"Sorry, tactless." Both hands raised to fend off the kind of criticism you might expect for a bad pun. "I know you're not keen on TayTay." The really Tendo Choi would never call a pop star something beyond his usual First Initial-Last Name mashup.
"But Hermann's definitely not an option. The only one left to come for you's me. And I just wanted to see if you're even sorry." His brow knit together. A familiar face of pain, exhaustion and crippling loss. "You're not, are you? You killed the last of our friends, Newton, and you're not even sorry."
