A wince and a short laugh at Meyer's expense follow the thud. It's like listening in on a boxing match-- heated and involved but still distant. He's not entirely without sympathy, but the school of hard knocks is a lesson one must learn on their own from time to time.

The next glance around the corner lingers longer than he wishes, but he has to confirm what he's seeing. It's Meyer throwing his weight around and that's unexpected. His viewing habits are more conspicuous now, though he still has the cover of the wall. It's always good to learn about people and their capabilities. This is proving to be a fountain of new information.
