A rather stupidly protective thought of that very much not fucking happening ran through Kol's mind, but he didn't voice it. "There's paranoia everywhere, isn't there?" was the offhand comment he managed to make.
"Clear it up? What's...there to clear up?" He blinked. Part of it was playing dumb, but most of it was legitimate confusion. He was fairly confident that he had been more than obvious enough, but maybe that was just because he had his own thoughts running around up there and everything he'd done seemed tainted or motivated by them.
