He's spent about half an hour setting up. The trick to using someone else's work area, even one where people lunge in to be patched up by random medical staff all the time--yes, he's observed from the hallway--is to look like you're supposed to be there

Really? 'Cause he could've fooled Ryan. Or maybe it's the moon making him assume the worst about people. He's as far from being happy inside the enclosed space as a werewolf can get.

He's at least fairly certain that the walls in here don't move. It's a small comfort.

"Deitmar," he snaps a greeting as he stalks into the room. His eyes keep darting from wall to wall, and he's not even bothering to hide the fact that he has an advanced sense of smell.

Wesker looks up. There's a moment of consideration and reconsideration. The edge he was going to adopt doesn't enter his tone. "Is an open flame going to be a problem?"

There was a short nod of greeting, but other than that, his tone is cool and businesslike. He's working.

He's also trying not to get too cold. He's observed Cooper's men's reactions to scientists, after all. Why add to the stress?

"No." Short and terse is the answer, and he hasn't stopped moving. Normally, he stand still and observe the room. Now? Now he's moving around to manually inspect everything. It's better than pacing in one spot, anyway.

"What's first?" he asks, struggling to keep his tone from not!literally growling.

Wesker doesn't interrupt the prowling or try to prevent him from damaging anything. Okay, Ryan: is this an actual hint of friendliness, or just a tested tone to see if you're going to relax a little for it? (But what does it matter, either way?)

"If you're going to be this on edge for the duration, we'd better take the skin sample as soon as I've had a look at what to expect." Wesker considers for a moment, then hands him a water bottle. "I'd like a cheek swab, to start. Rinse with that first, please-" he remembers Ryan's level of suspicion "-or the tap, if you're worried I've added something." This is a medical bay, not a lab, and there's little paper cups by the sink. "Either way, I don't want what you last ate."

He's going to hold up a Q-tip as Ryan starts to turn away. If Ryan knows the drill, good, his fingers won't be near the antsy werewolf's mouth. If Ryan tries to take it by the cotton bit, he'll try to do it himself.

He's wearing kind of odd gloves. . .
