Tom may believe himself to be the Capitol, but all Albert sees is a thug who plays at stardom, an attention-seeking child. Tom clearly didn't get enough hugs when he was young.

Still, given their bad blood and Albert's current situation he knows he best be careful, especially knowing that with the cyborg's very public relationship, Tom has every ability to make not his own life hell - he's used to that - but his husband's as well. He won't give Tom a new reason.

The problem is the man has plenty of old ones.

He doesn't say anything, not just yet, simply looks at Tom through the combination of force field and bars and does his best to appear downtrod, defeated, and bone-tired. It's not difficult, and entirely convincing, likely because at just this moment it's true.
