Despite his ears wanting to slide back into his hair at Lauren's voice and appearance, they don't. He keeps them neutrally placed, raised gently with a light flick of the left one to even signify he heard him. He hasn't looked at him for more than two seconds, only having done so to identify who was speaking, and he rests his hands on his row boat like he might avoid and push off without further conversation.

"For what?" comes his complacent tone, giving no hint to whether he wants him to merely say it or if he's already let the encounter go.
