They've never targeted him so why should he care? (He absolutely can't read Cristina's expression so...uh... he'll just forget about that.)

No. You're fine. I'm sorry if I seemed like I was prying. It's not any of my business, you know?

The ball is in Doppio's court should he feel the need to continue talking with him but the Egyptian won't force it.
Although it is a bit surprising to find someone with even less... social skills than himself. Stop selling yourself so short, Marik.]
