[ Kostos raises his eyebrows at the studying, but they return to their natural positions when Anders explains himself. He nods himself, abandoning his attention to the scroll—a dead end, it seems—to frowns at Anders instead. It's a thoughtful smile, not a disapproving one.
Though he does disapprove. For the record. It's just not something he feels the need to constantly assert. The past is past. ]
Did you— [ That's a plural you, Anders and his passenger. ] —touch him?
[It had been so long ago. Anders presses his lips together before shaking his head. He doesn't know half of what Justice got up to; most of the time all he'd been able to hope was that someone would tell him what happened when Justice had taken over.]
I don't remember most things that went on when Justice was in control. As he is not the sort to reach out or embrace it may be fair to say there was no contact while Justice was running matters. Bethany, Carver, or Aveline may be more able to say... but this was also a decade ago.
[He's not sure Kostos is going to ask them. Kostos is not a people person, which means Anders will have to figure out if he thinks physical contact is relevant enough to be worth bringing up that night with any of the trio.
In the meantime, Anders takes a breath and mentally goes through anything that might matter.]
Justice was invested. I don't know if whether the spirit cares or not matters, but he did because I did. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know?
[If Kostos is asking about 'anything else,' the not-people-person's tolerance for a people person might be running low. Anders doesn't see a point to keeping the guy longer than is needed.]

[ How much is he not going to ask Bethany, Carver, or Aveline about this? So much. Talking to people is the worst. ]
Is there anything else that you think may matter?
