"The ears?" His headtilt of confusion was almost audible with how immediate and quick he did it. He doesn't really get why Shannon's ears were such an important topic. So he had ears and was older than him. He didn't think it was something he needed to judge him on, especially since he didn't even know him. "Why would they weird me out? Lots of people still have their ears."

Shannon's comment made him laugh softly. Oh, if only he knew. "You're not the first person to say that I sound like an old man. That seems to be a pretty common perception of me." He couldn't help but smile at Shannon asking him about what he really wanted to ask about. "This doesn't seem right. A mugging in a safe neighborhood like this? I bet if I asked any of the cops around here, they'd tell me he didn't look the type to be rich enough for him to picked out for a mugging. It's a cover up, but for what is what I want to pick at your brain for."
