Lex watches Adrian refill their wine glasses and he instantly knows that he hit a subject that goes far deeper than he had anticipated. He'd added more wine to their glasses not long ago, and Adrian's usually carefully practiced movements are completely unnecessary.
Immigration itself isn't anything to be ashamed of, and Lex doesn't need to insult Adrian's intelligence by saying as much. "My grandparents were from Scotland, I'm not so far removed either." He pulls his own glass closer, at least going through the motions that the refill was necessary. "Is it something you have to constantly think about, hiding your accent?" He doesn't ask why Adrian feels the need to keep his heritage a secret, nor does he ask if Adrian hides an accent. He keeps his voice even, possibly a touch softer than usual and added his own information about himself least this come across as an interrogation.
