The statement is met with little more than a blink at first, but then a tight smirk curls at the left corner of his mouth. Grim, hollow amusement underneath tired eyes. Another conversation he doesn't particularly want to have, but one which can't be avoided if Lucius opts to have it.

Because if anyone deserves an explanation, it's this man.

However, it's not one he's going to offer without being prompted, and so he drops his gaze - admission enough that Lucius did point out the truth of things - and sets to work repacking the purchases. Actions speaking louder than words: Victim, no. But certainly guilty as charged.
