[Souji's reactions - all of them - are expected by this point, and yes Ian is as pleased as ever that his appearance is being appreciated. He takes the steps to close the space between them easily, his Gaburevolver being holstered in favour of pulling the collar of Souji's shirt down, gloved fingers deliberately brushing against the skin there.]
This sort of situation is why we decided on it, isn't it? There wouldn't be a point in having a system if we didn't use it.
[And that's the honest truth of it, because Ian hasn't doubted that this is Souji for a second. The small drawing Ian had left on the back of his neck is exactly as he remembers it, and he allows his gloved fingers to linger against Souji's skin for a moment before tugging the collar back into place and stepping back with a grin. Despite his levity though, he is still trying to piece this together before he puts forth his theory.]
