[Two months. No, it's been longer than that since he brought back his wayward clone. So ... something is very definitely off, here, and for a moment he considers asking the details. What's the last thing Sai remembers? What does he know? But Sicks brushes that all away after a few moments. It's not really important what he knows; all that does matter is that he is an unfamiliar figure to the boy. There is no recollection of the revelation about who he really is.

And in this place, at this time, with his heart beating human blood, it may not be the best idea to make known those unknowns. Not until he has a stronger foothold, at least.

So he simply continues smiling, carefully redirecting the rage back inside, the tension easing into mere frustration with the situation at hand.]
