[Actually, yes, he does owe Asch an answer... is what he'd like to say. But he's well aware of the fact that Van is just as stubborn as he is, and when the man doesn't feel like explaining himself properly, he won't. It's annoying, and it's enough to make Asch scowl and turn away, starting towards the second-floor kitchen again. If he wants to be so secretive about what's very likely going on - that is to say, Van's current living arrangements include his damned apartment building - then fine, whatever. He'll figure it out soon enough. He doesn't care what state Van's in right now. Why should he?
....
He shouldn't. He really, really shouldn't. Which is why he he's confused by the fact that, as he's returning to the stairs a few moments later with the retrieved pot in hand, he sets it down and sits himself down on the steps, a few feet away from where Van is resting. He doesn't speak, barely even looks at the man. Yes still, he sits.
...Why the hell did he just do that...? He's not worried! He's just.
Gloating. That's it, he's gloating. Van is helpless right now and it's fun to watch, ha. It's a perfectly valid reason to stop.]
