Five is positive that he's not the person that Arch expects to be standing behind him when he speaks, almost to himself. It's obvious before he even walks by that he's intruding on a private moment. But he's seen the man everywhere lately. Always in passing, and usually when he's using his abilities to make himself useful. At this point he feels like he knows him as well as anyone here, just from paying attention, while Five has shared next to nothing about himself. That's really the way it's supposed to be.

Of course he's heard things too. Mostly late at night, because lately he only seems to sleep when he collapses from exhaustion. For him it's not so unusual. Five has been talking to his wife like she's still with him even before they came out to the barn. He's very cognizant of the fact that she's not really there, but he knows her so well that he can always imagine what she'd say.

And she'd probably be telling him not to bother someone who spends his free time zapping rats with their electric fingers. -- He doesn't always listen.
