He lingers back when prompted to — leans himself against the doorframe there while August there goes about his business. Being in the line of work that he's in and knowing the things he does, it's not difficult to spot the signs of magic and the possibility of witchcraft. The sigils, the trinkets.

He has his own wards carved into the doorframe of his place back home for that reason. To keep certain things out.
Pulled from his thoughts, he plucks the cigarette from August's fingers and places it between his lips. )
