He has the quiet concentration of someone doing serious processing work- and he does it easily, linking related conversations up. Framed by the snowbanks around the rock he looks very pretty indeed, poised like a statue with snow-dusted clothes and his hair a halo of gold. He's looking over everything when Asch speaks, and for a moment seems to not have heard it. But he responds, and so he has, though he doesn't even turn away from the rock to return eye contact.]
