Apparently the reason Basil had offered Nailah tea is he had made himself a mug, and was quietly sipping something herbal and sweet smelling out of a yellow and black mug while they talked.
When he was addressed, he paused. He had already thought out his response to this question and was steeling his nerves. The tone he uses doesn't seem angry with Haley or chastising. Somewhere between matter of fact and melancholy.
"I know of a few things that happen on this campus Ms. Crusek that I do not speak on. Simply put, while I felt the elderly gentleman shouldn't have gone it alone, he seemed pretty set on the idea he was not going to take anyone with him. He made it seem as if he were some sort of representative of an agency who could handle themselves.
I simply didn't see the need to... what's that phrase you Americans use....
Ah. Yes. 'Narc him out'.
I can't go tattle-telling on everyone who has a poor idea on campus. Aside from the fact I am so distrusted that even my supposed psuedo-girlfriend calls me a liar to my face in front of strangers, I neither have the inclination nor the time in the day to go around informing everyone of everything around here that seems pear-shaped."
