Should he notice the flat tone of voice? The blank face and how any and all traces of personality fades from the guy behind the bars? Probably. Homelander holds out a grape, it's placed carefully on his palm like how you would feed a horse, still smiling like Amos is be funniest thing he's seen all day.

Not a sideshow attraction, but the stall. The fancy flag flying over an old restaurant or the newest Homelander action figure at the mall.

"Are you sure? If you need a little time to think about it, I should be back in an hour or two."

He drops his voice to a friendly, conspiratorial whisper and cups his empty hand by his mouth- this is just for you, pall; "That really depends on what I find in the other cells, you know?"
