[It isn't the first time that someone has stared at him, and it wouldn't be the last, so Mello takes it in stride. For someone who has spent much of his post-Wammy's life cultivating an intimidating persona despite his size and appearance, the scar does have its benefits. ]
So they don't teach common sense where you're from?
[Sure, Mello probably has a little bit more street smarts than the average person, but you'd think that seeing throngs of people involved in exchanging advances would make one just a little bit more wary.
It'd be easy to move along and continue on his way, but the way that composure slides over the other's features gives him reason to stick around. It's almost as though he belongs at Wammy's, with the way he closes himself off, just like that. He therefore looks Lelouch up and down, noting the clothes — gems? — and taking in his features. There is nothing lewd about it — he just wants more insight.]
Nice little trick you have there, but I've seen better.
