True or not, Apollo wasn't about to ask either of them about the incident. He couldn't very well accuse the sheriff of making such a bad mistake when he worked for him, and Jowd ... well, Apollo had never much liked poking his head into the jail. He had never so much as shared words with the former deputy, and wasn't all that keen on doing it now.
He can't see the other's mile-long stare, thanks to those glasses he's wearing, but Apollo still gets the sense that he's a mite distracted. The mention of work makes Apollo wince a little, and he speaks up again with a slightly nervous laugh,
"Well yeah, I got other work, but there's the concerns of the community to think about! 'Sides, I'm in the business of Justice, and don't you forget it. Means I'm not plannin' on ever becomin' that callous, Mr. Yomiel."
And he really should be getting back to his work, as interesting as this was. Apollo didn't have cases yet, just the paperwork Deputy Gavin kept giving him to get him used to doing it. He would much rather stay out here in the sunshine talking about mysteries and injustice... but any longer and he'd get scolded for leaving the office, and he doubted Deputy Gavin would care much that he'd left because of a bicycle thief.
"I'd better head on back. I'll see you 'round, Mr. Yomiel. ... And if you do remember more about that incident you told me, I'd be happy to hear it."
Apollo briefly tips his hat to the other man before walking a couple of paces away, then hopping up on his bike. Using it had never bothered him much before, but after criticism of its capabilities, Apollo felt a little awkward about it.
