It's never a bad PR move to let one thug get away -- gossip spreads fast in that crowd. Adrian watches to make sure the man really is leaving then turns his attention to Aimery, still carefully remaining aware in case the thug was just running to grab reinforcements.

With a small smile that masks the cold anger inside (Adrian Veidt does not take well to people interfering with his business, no matter how unintentional it might be), he offers a hand to assist Aimery if he needs it.

"You're welcome," he answers softly. There's nothing worse for revealing a secret identity than too much chatter, so he tends to keep the speech to a minimum when in costume. The nice thing about the costume, though, is that it tends to draw attention from the tell-tale details that might otherwise give him away.
