[Preemptive and unnecessary, but while Brendan rolls his eyes and loses the smile, he doesn't say as much. Thank heaven he'd come across someone practical, at least, instead of one who would have insisted on being friends or otherwise forging some lasting tie in this place. He prefers to know a little more about who he's getting involved with ahead of time, preferably without them doing the same.
The silence stretches a little longer, Brendan still unmoving, but eventually, he resumes motion, walking straight up to the statue and pausing with a hand mere inches away from its stony surface. There's little sense in staring at it, as far as he can tell, so he should just... get it over with and touch the damn thing. Right?
Before he does, he glances back over his shoulder.]
I've had some negative reactions to this sort of thing. If any crop up this time, think nothing of it.
