Eerily enough, Spike was ahead of Brian on making that connection, so as he stepped out of his room it was with simpler thoughts of enjoying what was ahead.
He'd been all set to ignore his Warden as much as was possible, maybe even make life difficult for them on purpose, but then he'd been assigned Spike and found an odd kind of respect and familiarity present. Brian, however, wasn't big on examining the whys of how he felt; he was just pleasantly surprised to have a positive connection with someone that had the power to run his life.
Especially when they let him slice up animals.
"I need a knife if I'm going to do my thing," he said amicably. "My room looks like my apartment, but it's missing all of my tools. Imagine that." His smile was bland and very normal.
"Shame, that. I got a knife though. Might be two." A beat. "Never know what's gonna be in this thing." He's referring to his duster as he begins nervously checking pockets. "Ta for.. comin' along then."
Ordinarily he'd instantly start plotting how he could keep hold of the knife he was given, but some part of him felt oddly like he didn't want to make too much trouble for Spike. That part was quickly squashed. He'd take the opportunity if it came.
"I'm surprised you're so blase about the whole thing," said Brian, watching as he looked through his pockets. "It's not what I expected from my Warden."
