It really is a damn shame that Vincent can't see, because Irahl is inordinately startled by the sudden warning and attack. With how much the previous topic tends to wind him up on a day when he isn't already worried about being called out and caught for being inhuman, his nerves are immediately set to 'jumpy' with hardly any provocation.

So, his expression is pretty good when Vincent fully causes him to jump right before he's then hit with a pillow.

At the very least, jarring Irahl like that does effectively shatter the moment of awkwardness.

"Of course. Put it over the nose and mouth and hold it down until they stop moving."

The murder-jokes are back, so he's probably fine now.
