He's glad of these little disruptions while he's filling time. Harth is insane, and unsalvageable. Beckett is too powerful to try to maneuver. So it's the slow way of earning trust

Whims must be catered to. He's going to have to do this very quickly. Wesker leaves the gate, waving up to the watchman. "Just checking around the wall. If I'm not back in ten, I died stupidly."
He goes to the end of the street, then circles the block to the other side of the alley. It's almost so dark here that he needs to remove the shades. He keeps them on, instead, smelling the air.
Beckett does not come out of the darkness, but Wesker can hear his voice.
"I need a favor. Find me an engineer willing to trade immortality for fixing up a building. Not the Embrace, just ghouling. It's immortality, without the dying. Can you do it?"
Wesker adjusts the mental gears. "There's one afraid of everything who might welcome your protection, but I'll have to go slowly or he'll panic. There's another who seems. . . off. He may be approachable."
Not the Embrace? They can live, then.
"I need to maintain my cover. Give me two days to build relations and sound them out. Then I can tell you for sure."
Shucks and other comments. Revan knew he was getting a partner today, but he didn't figure it would #2 on his Threat-O-Meter.
So while he calls out with a polite "Hey there," his mind is frantically whirring what this could mean. Has Wesker found out? Was this a way of getting him alone so he could dispose of him? Was this just a fluke of the roster? Was there any way to turn this to his advantage.
Shucks? Aw. Someone's thinking that's a worse curse than it actually is.
"Decan. Good evening." Wesker reaches up to the rosary around his neck. "How's your work been?" He reaches up to the gate, although he makes no move to leave first. "I've seen nothing of interest, so far."
He does seem as though he's been under strain, doesn't he?
Well, DOESN'T HE? Oh, you wily Jedi. Just appreciate the acting, okay?
Wesker pauses, as if waiting for just another instant to see if Decan will go first, then steps through. He doesn't look back as he closes the gate. Which means Decan might get clipped if he didn't look slippy.

The sound of stones, dropping on the ground before Wesker, as if thrown from a shadowed alley across the way.

"Uneventful. Harth and his buddies have been lying low since that beating we threw him."
And Revan's acting skills come into play, though the annoyance and frustration is easy to mimic when it's rooted in truth.
