Though none of it reaches his face, Basch feels his insides constrict at the way Ravus dismisses his offer. Those years in prison do not haunt him as badly as they used to, but they are there nonetheless. He held onto hope as a way to survive, but his heart knows the feeling of defeat he hears in Ravus. Especially if he thinks too long on Landis's fate.
But he also know he's in no position to comfort this man. He may as well respect both their dignity as well as he can. Even if word games are the farthest possible thing from Basch's mind.
