The stare was relatively brief but would have had a flicker of almost  
uncomfortable intensity. John seems like a fairly perceptive  
individual, it's unlikely that he missed it. However, as Spikey  
indicated, it would be easy to excuse as mundane behavior.

The very last thing I have to bring up on this one is: Does Stephen's  
"Read Surface Thoughts" rote allow him to "hear" the results of  
John's "Judge the Soul" as well, or is that not within the scope/ 
duration of Stephen's quick spell?
