And there was the look of skepticism. Harvey would have judged the man for it if he hadn't felt the exact same way on his first day here. It was the natural, sane response, but the more time that was spent in this place, the more things you learned to just accept. The newest items on that list were being able to move through time and the transformation from male to female. He was just glad that the latter hadn't been tested on him.
But the newcomer didn't need to hear about any of that. He could try and brush it off and call it crazy for as long as he wanted, but sooner or later he was going to have to face the things that were shoved in front of him. Harvey had already gotten to tell one person "I told you so"; he wasn't sure he wanted to seek this guy out again a few days later to do so again.
The mention about important people did get a reaction out of him, though. Harvey paused, glancing down at his mainly untouched vitamin shake, working through that possibility. He'd been fairly well-known back in Gotham, after all; Batman also fit into that category. He wasn't so sure about Jason... or Jones, for that matter. Franziska had the prodigy thing going for her, but Harvey had also met a few people who seemed to be on the ordinary side of things.
"I wouldn't assume that," he said with a shake of his head as he forced himself to take a sip of his drink. Starving himself wasn't going to do him any good, and he knew it. Still, he couldn't really let the implication of this stranger's so-called importance just drop like that, and so he gave him a skeptical glance of his own under his brow and bandages.

"So who are you supposed to be?"
