[ When Fabian looks at Gorgug while the other speaks, there does seem to be something like that thought in his expression. His eyebrows raise in surprise-- because yes, it is strange. He does remember talking about it with Gorgug in the dark. And while Fabian hadn't been very personally worried about the topic itself back then, it did seem like Gorgug had wanted to desperately avoid it for some reason.
And now he's.. bringing it up? By himself? It's not even like Fabian prompted it. Gorgug could easily have let Fabian ramble on about how annoying and dumb the missions are, and it's not like Gorgug ever would have had to say a word about it.
(And-- well, Gorgug's care for Aurora is a bit of a touchy subject, and it doesn't really sit right within Fabian, but he's a big boy. He's been grown to try and be a little bit more of a big boy, anyway. He can shove down the feeling of having someone he's close to care so much for something he hates. It's not like it's the first time he's ever done it.)
So rather than commenting on that, Fabian's eyebrows knit together as he instead asks: ]
It didn't sound like you wanted to do anything about it before.
[ It's not really criticism - you know it's criticism when it's coming from Fabian, considering he never bothers to hide that in his tone - as much as it's.. well, confusion. He wonders what changed for Gorgug. ]
