[It's a fair enough answer, Philip supposes. Moreover, the important part is not human.]
[He recognizes the tactic of mentioning a warden. Philip isn't particularly keen on identifying as an inmate, but he isn't keeping it under wraps either. Something like that, he knows he can't control who will find out and who won't. Scorpius is maybe smart enough to recognize that. Which is why he mentions the warden. A false sense of camaraderie.]
[Or maybe it's just a stray remark. There's always that possibility Philip is giving him way too much credit. But why chance it?]
I wasn't overly concerned in the first place, but I appreciate the reassurance.
