Really? That was nowhere near expected. "...Hmm." Nigredo paused to absorb the implications while looking positively suspicious. The view wasn't aimed at his brother so much as the institute. There existed, after all, new facts for consideration. Here, he was Nigel, Albedo was Alan, and Rubedo was George. Or George Junior. So very close to a naming scheme, to the point where the boy had to wonder if it meant anything.
Eventually, he tossed the possibility aside. Probably not. It wasn't enough of a coincidence.
The intercom chimed in before he could raise another point, spelling the end of their conversation. He rose from his seat, quietly, and began to brush off his pants. "I'll see you later." He trailed off, almost earnestly, and stepped back, intending to retreat back to his nurse.
Suddenly, hanging around his brother just didn't seem as nice.
