Is he supposed to be anything other than disbelieving? I mean, here they were: the trio of curious circus animals and the one who seems most normal is admitting to not only one, but two murders. Forgive him if he finds that pill a little hard to swallow. Besides, there wasn’t much explaining going on - not that he was certain he’d want to hear this story explained anyways. Zojja seems to be the more diplomatic of them to begin with and her sympathy is met with his rolling eyes. He’s almost glad the nameless stallion can’t see him.
When she mentions that his secret is best kept between the three of them, Lupei takes a good look at the greying stallion. He’ll change, become almost different, but he’ll still remain a killer. For that reason alone the colorful boy doesn’t want to forget a single detail of his face, should they happen to cross paths again. Sure, his secret was ‘safe’, but that didn’t mean he was necessarily trustworthy.
Zojja has moved on though, to apologizing and trying to change the tone of the discussion. But Lupei isn’t so ready to hear the end of this chapter. He speaks up, voice curiously low and steady. “Why’d you do it? Kill them, I mean.” It must’ve been a good reason, must’ve been life or death for the poor, blind guy. If it were for anything less, Lupei would assume there was a screw loose in his head … not that he didn’t think that already.
