[He raises both eyebrows then. Logically, yes, he knew that but it's still a lot to grapple with all the same.]

I know how to fight if that's what you're asking me, and I'm kind of an expert at running away. [There's a hint of a smirk, but it's easily lost.] I'm working on defense wards and moving research out of here to where it's very limited access. There's a reason there's a scanner on the door and it's programmed just to you guys. It's not the greatest solution but it's the best one I had for the time being. This office is more of a front. I don't usually spend my nights here unless I have to.

And anyway I'm not sure it's me he's interested in now. With the actual brains of the operation out of the loop...[A shrug. The target would shift, he thinks. It's probably a naive way of thinking, but likewise he's worried about the users and what may come next.]
