He's not very forthcoming about his reasons for staying. I'm curious, but of course I would never ask. It would be rude. His concern is a little bit surprising, and I straighten up, trying to look cool about the whole situation. "Of course I am," I say crisply. Does he think I'm stupid? I happen to be a very good judge of character, thank you very much. I give way to curiosity a moment later, though, and ask, "What do you mean, strangeness?" Everything's looked perfectly normal to me, at least so far as I can tell. "I mean, if it's not rude to ask."
