The more formal phrasing Report back to me itches behind his teeth, which is about when Jedao realizes he's flying blind on Jedao One's instincts, like he used to when addressing his Kel. He doesn't need those instincts to know that dropping the touch like it burns will undercut his - not authority, what authority - influence? Whatever the fuck he is doing.
He drops his hand smoothly, takes a few steps away, then leans against once of the bulky arcade frames. "Confirmation is better, when it comes to things like this. I would think you'd be tired of him springing shit on you."
