Steel was just getting his laughter under control when Lee returned with the guard that had run of earlier. He didn't hear them approach because his heart was racing after his little performance. "I won't tell you anything," he muttered into his arms. He only looked up slightly, catching Lee's eye before the other man barked some orders and walked away. Steel let out a sigh of relief, but he knew he couldn't relax totally out of his lie. No one got so desperate and hysterical, then perfectly relaxed. He made sure to throw out some angry screams and more than colorful threats every now and then.

The acting was tiresome, but he also got a certain amount of joy in knowing he'd manipulated people. He knew how to twist people into his game with a few well places words and emotions. People were so ready to believe what they wanted to hear. He knew lying wasn't something he should get joy out of, but he had few other talents to pride himself on. Eventually keeping the act up tired him too much and he curled up against a wall to sleep and wait. He knew Lee had other things to do, but Steel did not. Waiting for him to come back was all Steel had to look forward to.
