Phi notices the way he doesn't answer immediately. Her stare bores into him, unwavering as he expresses his frustration with a sigh. He can stall all he wants to, but she doesn't intend to let him off the hook without answering her.
When that answer finally comes, she isn't sure if she believes him. It's the answer that she hoped to hear, but that in itself makes her more suspicious. Was he only saying that to appease her, or did he really mean it? It wasn't like he could know for sure. A younger (older?) Sigma certainly had no problems acquainting himself with the opposite gender. But the more she dwells on his answer, the less she wants to really think about it. He was a pervert, but there was a line between his crimes and her father's that she didn't think Sigma could cross. He cared too much.
"Fine," she ultimately concedes, her gaze dropping away from his to assess the state of their appetizers. With the way that they've both been picking at them, there's still plenty left. Phi scoots a little more onto her plate, now that her appetite has started to return. She doesn't laugh at Sigma's joke, but she does consider the change of topic with mild interest.
"Did you actually raise Kyle? Akane said he was your clone." Which doesn't necessarily mean that he grew to maturity in a test tube, but the way that K acted always made her wonder if he was emotionally stunted in some way. Not fully developed, perhaps.
