Diamond catches sight of the other animals and gives a growling yip. It is enough to pull Jack's attention to both the animals and the woman approaching them. Her outfits is appealing and gets an appreciative smile.

"Do they watch people with them?" He looks down at the device still in his hand, that he picked up around the hologram, with a great deal of suspicion. He wonders if the device is watching him now. His eye shifts from the device back to the building eaves with growing paranoia.

"The kind the Ministry uses to watch for deviants." Jack's words are even but his body has a tick. It starts in the brow over the patch and effects the right leg too which obsessively starts toeing at the dirt. The worst of it though is the twitch in his right hand and fingers. All of it from the attempts to rewrite his personality and shock treatments used to try to turn him out of his deviant behaviors. He resisted becoming a 'good citizen' which left a decent amount of his personality intacted but there was a neurological cost. Most people don't pick up on it but those with the right experience might know the condition.

"I don't suppose they're here." He glances at her with sympathy, grateful that she hasn't been subjected to their torment and fear tactics.
