[Staring at the Judge critically, as if he's trying to puzzle something out, he almost opens his mouth to argue against him again, but thankfully thinks better of it this time. He was fairly certain there was nothing he could say that would affect this man's reasoning. Which was just about the one down side to not being taken seriously by someone, at least when it came to engaging in a calm conversation.
But even if he couldn't make him stop his quest to 'confiscate' all the sugar, he could still take this opportunity to learn more about the kind of person he was dealing with. Chances were this probably wouldn't be the last time they ran into each other, best to be prepared.]
Out of curiosity, how many other people in the vicinity would you say are doing something they shouldn't?
[Taking a step to the side so that Rico could have a full view of the cafeteria again, his voice is back to its normal measured tone, far from friendly but genuinely curious.]
