You did attack me. [So there is Asch's definitive answer as to the when; and also to the why of today's intractable bad mood. Cliff diving to the center of the planet will do that to a man.
Van almost continues on; but turns to look Asch over instead. Even as serious as Asch is, he'd expect some comment on his current state of dress. It isn't like him to let these things go unremarked upon, particularly when "these things" are Van's embarrassing misfortune.
Instead of further comment, he simply tries to make eye contact. Asch isn't the type to look away from a challenge, either.]
