Five hears the words coming out of his mouth, really he does. They just don't make a whole lot of sense. Yes, what Mingyu did to him was genuinely horrific, but Fox doesn't seem to know the extent of it. Yet he seems bound and determined to make up for the whole incident. How are those two even together? Does it stem from some sort of shared interest in magic? He shouldn't speculate, aside from the assumption that he doesn't really know all of what Mingyu gets into if he's so morally righteous.
Which makes it that much harder to blame him for the tattoo. Five is so thrown by his honest approach that he nearly forgets that they're still standing out here in the hallway, in reach of something he'd probably be outraged by. He's fully aware that he isn't an easy person to get along with, and he doesn't try to be. There are plenty of people who would be more receptive to him, so why is he putting himself through this?
This isn't the first time Fox has tried to level with him, as he calls it, and he still doesn't have a clue how to handle it this time around. But before he can tell him to take a breath, that he's not out to cause trouble for either of them, he goes and brings up his sister.
"You met Vanya." That shouldn't be alarming in itself. They've be sharing close quarters, so of course she must have run across most of them by now. And yet it brings out a whole different kind of tension in him. Someone like Fox, who has a passion for magic and looking into things, could be a dangerous combination with his dear sister who is still trying to understand her abilities. ('Stopping bullets is neat...') If he encouraged her to use them when he isn't around...
"Is that what you told her? That she has potential?"
