[ALSO WOW for once there's an instant mood shift on his end, too. Granted, not that he hadn't been serious before--but he'd maintained at least a little of his carefree lightheartedness even during their interrogations. Now, however, any hint of humor drops off of his face. He doesn't stiffen, exactly, or move in any particular way, but there's a notable tension to his demeanor.]
You shouldn't know about that. [Even the best spies wouldn't know about that. For years, the Tsaritsa herself was the only person he'd mentioned it to, and it was on her orders alone that he'd mentioned it to some of the other Harbingers. Even then, he'd kept most of what he'd seen and done to himself; out of all them, Dottore knew the most, and that was only because they'd needed to be sure his Delusion and his Foul Legacy Transformation wouldn't clash and kill him immediately.
It was one thing when Scaramouche's claims could be brushed off as the work of an extremely dedicated spy. This, however, is something else entirely.]
I didn't even notice tbh
