[ david doesn't argue, or fuck around more trying to get a rise out of him. that says to evan that he's serious, for once, and the straight to the point nature of it takes off that edge of permanent suspicion at least for a little while.
when david finds him - and if he knew how easily david crossed his territory, how confidently he did it, he'd be too furious to even humor this - evan's working on a mask. not his normal one, which he's wearing, but a different one. metal instead of bone. it's just out of the forge that doubles as a furnace, going from white-hot to bright orange, and evan's hammering out the inside to make it fit a little better.
he doesn't hear the knock but he does see the door open and glances over, pausing until he sees david, and then goes back to his work. he doesn't rush, but he doesn't finish completely, either. he finishes up the work on the inside and opts to leave the outside until later.
then he turns and watches david, more than a little suspicious of him asking outright but also not going to assume he was lying. ]
