—that requests for favors made in the midst of unresolved arguments should be prefaced with some sort of apology, even a nonverbal one. Other people have those sheepish sort of half-smiles in their arsenals of endearing facial expressions, the ones that say let's put it all behind us without anyone having to talk about it. They're effective. They've even worked on Kostos. But he's never arranged his face in that particular way before, and he doesn't start now.
When Nikos comes back from wherever, doing whatever, in whatever state, Kostos is standing outside his door with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall so minimally that it barely counts, and glaring at a sentient little wisp of light. He remains glaring while his attention shifts down the corridor to his brother.
He is willing to lose this round of who will talk first, but only after first making a respectable showing. ]
