Lorne eyeballs the doll Tuo offers him; it is attired not unlike the soldiers camped here. And with the mimed stabbing-- he is completely confused and it shows. Is this for merely for catharsis? Tuo's always been odd, but not with the eccentricity borne simply of being touched by madness. His eccentricity has sharp edges and too much mystery for it all to be an act. There are layers to him Lorne can't even begin to guess on, and has never thought much to try.
Now though, he seems to be holding a part of those layers very tangibly in his hands, and he has no clue what it is or what it means. And Tuo is willing to share it in front of a Shepherd, of all things. That makes him properly intrigued.
"Uh, thank you," Lorne says after some seconds staring blankly at the doll, remembering his manners. Recovering a smidge of humor, he adds a touch wryly, "Though I promised Captain Lance I'd keep away from the soldiers, whether someone tells on me or not."
Being that vindictive seems like a lot of energy right now, and all of his fury is being spent on one man. But he'll keep it, and think on that further, in case anger rears its ugly head at wider targets.
