[As if on cue, there's a quick knock on the door before a soldier pushes it open, bowing his head as he lets Guren in and closes it right back behind him. Guren looks tired, as usual, but his expression is guarded. He always has to be careful about how he walks in on a conversation with Kureto, these days, especially when he's summoned for no reason that he's aware of.
Even still, it's difficult to contain the shock he feels when his eyes pass over the room and find Dextera. His eyes only linger half a second longer than the others, but he's sure he was caught.
More than that, he's sure Dextera has already blurted something.]
Did you call me back to tease you some more?
[Kureto is interrupted from continuing his intimidation on Dextera, at least, when Guren enters the room. But it's Shinya who laughs at that first, pushing away from the wall slightly to step closer to Guren.
"He's already back to being serious. Right, brother?"
From the look in his eyes, Kureto isn't in the mood to humor any of that, but he doesn't discourage it, either. Irritating things like that somehow make him feel a little more in control, after all. More importantly, though: "We found him close by. He says he knows you."
Guren follows Kureto's gesture with his eyes, looking at Dextera more directly. Ah, of course it's like that. It's not like he can soften his gaze in this type of scene, but he can at least have an excuse to give him this direct eye contact now. He's not sure how long Dextera can deal with just standing there, either, so he's already thinking through every different possibility of how to deal with this.]
