Her brief change in behavior wasn't lost on Dr Huang, he had gently taken a more firm hold of her hand that was hooked on his arm. For a split-second he debated asking her about what had crossed her mind, but decided to let it be for now. When she asked her question he seemed slightly taken aback. He took a moment to think as he looked to where they were walking. "Suppose it's because it isn't often I come by other people dealing with more literal inner demons." he said softly with a glance to her. "Seeing how you deal with hiding your true self...I find it...reassuring in a way." his attention trailed slightly before he looked to Lily and smiled. "Being what I am, living the way I do...how could I<i>not</i>find you fascinating?" he added with a faint chuckle.
