I ... was thinking more along the lines of a jail cell, Lord Yuan.

[Within two seconds of being told to drop it, Botta is doubting the order. If Botta didn't know how beloved Martel is -- was -- to Yuan, he would have wondered about this shift in propensity; since he does know that, all he feels is an undercurrent of irritation that this man, this human, somehow manages to secure Yuan's regard to the point of taking him into his bedroom, however platonic the action is.

[The word 'hide' is also galling, in a paradoxical way; as if Yuan has something to be ashamed of, that he has to conceal.]

Sir, there's a dozen people who man the surveillance cameras in the control room. There were at least six doctors and orderlies in the medical wing in the course of Aurion's treatment. There were at least a dozen people who witnessed your arrival with him. Believe me, the entire base knows he's here.
