[ Oh, he does notice. It's kind of what he does, predator that he is and even on a quiet night like tonight he's keeping at least some of his senses on high alert. Slayers and stakes. He's always been careful (well, mostly careful. He tries.) but after the chip got shoved into his head he's become even more so.
For a while he acts as if he doesn't notice, quietly sipping his whiskey and waiting for Helix to make a move but impatience could practically be his middle name and after a few minutes he turns in his stool to look at the blue brat. ]
