That first comment didn't seem to be directed at her, if the way the man lowered his tone was indication. He seemed annoyed, but it wasn't her job to try and assuage any of that. She was delivering the facts; the opinions he formed in response to them were not her concern. He didn't seem to agree with the general's methods, but chances were most of the people kept here didn't.
Surprisingly, he changed his tactic after that, asking a completely different question. Once again, an inquiry about the visitors. Maybe it was only to be expected, that they would be curious about the ones waiting for them.
"I believe some of them have, though as far as I'm aware, others weren't kept here for nearly as long... or for any time at all." It was difficult to know if she knew more than she was letting on, but it was made obvious that she wasn't going to elaborate. The way her hands tightened around her knees made that clear enough to someone with a practiced eye.
