Vanya looks mildly nonplussed. If he is in any way enjoying not being the most awkward person in a given conversation, he is doing a heroic job of hiding it. (In fact, if Benevenuta suspects this is what he's doing, she might even be proud.) He might have said something when Cedric made eye contact, but it was only brief before he was hurrying away again.

Instead, he decides to respond to her observation about what Strange knows, evidently deciding the kindest thing to do for Cedric is to let him go without comment.

"If I had been aware it would immediately be pertinent, I might have mentioned it to the doctor," he allows. "I had the advantage of overlapping in Kirkwall with both yourself and his grace." No one had needed to tell him in as many words. He'd been at Thomas Charnier's birthday party, roughly three years ago.
