Well, that's not cryptic at all. I mean, I have a few ideas for what kind of interactions he might be referring to, but I'm in no mood to ask for clarification; I don't need to be running off right now, not when we've barely started. Staring at him a moment, I nod, slightly.

"Alright," I say, crossing my arms. "Then what do you know so far, based on the past five minutes?"

If I can assess him, it figures he can do the same; it's part of the business. I once told Mary Jane -- the one at home -- that I knew how to take out the Hulk if it came right down to it, and I wasn't just being facetious. Threat analysis is important, and he's a soldier; I trust he knows what the heck he's talking about.
