Cipher Nine smiles at Clotho and kneels to give her a brief hug. "Why not?" he asks. He wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with Clotho's apparent dislike/mistrust of Angel. Personally, he's inclined to agree with her, especially given that Clotho is a part of April. He trusts April's instincts. Angel, however, is someone new, and has not yet earned any modicum of either trust or respect.
