Don't worry, Cecil, there's not much warmth being offered in return. Less anger, but pleasantries haven't exactly done him any good here before, why bother with them now?
A corner is easy enough to find, and he leads Cecil there, posture rigid and thoughts racing. He stops and turns only when they're far enough out of earshot of anyone else for comfort, and after a moment of enduring that hard look he's getting, he speaks.
"I... apologize, Cecil, for purchasing Lot 37, and what effects that had on you," He starts, calm and measured as he possibly can be. "I had intended to return it to you, and purchased it to prevent anyone else from trying to figure out what its purpose was. But I didn't succeed in doing that, and, not knowing the gravity of it--- failed to prioritize doing so appropriately. For that, I'm deeply sorry."
