Was that almost... a compliment? Jon's not sure, but it certainly feels similar to one, as indirect as it may be. He doesn't remark on it, but that's kept in the mental notepad.

"You've not mentioned much of Night Vale, but... I'm sure, if it's as dangerous as it sounds, he was quite brave for doing so," Jon adds. "It's difficult to know that you risk the wrath of your loved ones to expose a grim truth, and to know you've got to do so regardless."

His matter-of-fact attitude has eased, taking a quiet, contemplative moment. Maybe it's Sight seeping through the cracks, even as he tries to look away from the knowing that lies just beneath the surface of Cecil's words, but the entire ordeal leaves lingering sadness. He gets the impression there's a great deal of that, back in Night Vale.
