He half-listens to Gorlim's question, but he's more preoccupied with the armored men, whom he eyes discreetly and warily. CTU combat training is not going to help him against someone with a sword.
"No, indeed not. Look as lost as you wish. Though I can answer any of your questions."

Friends of a sort. Do not be wary of them. It will only draw unnecessary attention." He pats him on the back reassuringly, and glances around for someone to take orders.
"As you say, Andres." He gives the soldiers a casual nod and smirks at Lee... or rather, at the look on Lee's face. "Not fancy enough for your sensibilities, Earth-man?" He shoves his shoulder, teasing.
