[ Jon's had... a goddamn couple of weeks. Which is why he looks back at Lark without being cowed for once. ]

I wasn't aware that I was supposed to report to anyone when a situation is handled. [ There's a bit more sharpness to that there would be; he's felt helpless enough the last few days, so being treated like he's fouled up in front of someone else hits him in the very small vestiges of pride he maintains. ]

A 'stern talking to' isn't what happened anyway, Lark: he stood down when I made it clear I meant no harm. Unless you're advocating for some genuinely awful violations of privacy for everyone I talk to, I could hardly know he'd repeat the behavior when he should know better.
