He's aware of her watching--anyone would be able to feel that sharp gaze on their back. What he isn't aware of is why she's watching.

Maybe there was something about it that wasn't as openly welcomed as he had thought. Perhaps there are nuances that no one thought to tell him, and that he had just shattered--Or, he reminds himself, he's just being a bit paranoid.
"No," He replies, glancing down at the mark on his hand. "It's quite rare. I've only known one--two--other people to have it." It wouldn't have occurred to him to count the Outsider originally, but here they are.
