Shaye's gesture caught him off guard and humbled him further. Whether or not she saw it the same way, Odysseus thought the gesture intimate. It was the sort of touch one might share with a dear friend or a family member and until that moment Odysseus hadn't thought himself worthy of such a gesture.
Though he'd been able to get away with saying nothing when Rhyme complimented him because it had been said in passing, there was no way for him to wiggle out of responding to Shaye's statements. This was not his forte and it made him uncomfortable. Vulnerable was perhaps a better word for what he was feeling, but he could do little else besides push past it and focus on their reason for gathering. "Thank you, Shaye, Rhyme." Even though it made him even more uncomfortable he forced himself to make eye contact with each as he said their name before flipping the attention away from himself as quickly as possible. "I only hope he can be reached. If at any point either of you think the plan isn't working or learn anything new, we can always try something else or make some changes."
Odysseus was surprised that Rhyme would consider placing Noir with someone else. He'd briefly considered the possibility on his way here but dismissed it as improper for him to suggest that a young boy den with an unrelated adult male. While he was harmless, Odysseus didn't like how it might appear for him to suggest it. But it was different coming from the boy's father. He frowned thoughtfully, then said, "If you think it would be best for him to stay with me for awhile I wouldn't mind having him."
