[ The "our" is the kind of reflex that will take months, possibly even years, to train himself out of. Three weeks into his new career as a disgraced exile, he doesn't even realize he's said it.
In this context, it matters less than it might, when he feels right now like he's been transported right back to his days at the Citadel, but--even in light of that, Arcade's logic doesn't fall on deaf ears. Startled and somewhat annoyed though Danse might be to see him get closer rather than take that dire warning seriously, he can't actually deny the truth of the observation. Even as a paladin, he hadn't been such a brick wall of Brotherhood dogma as to be incapable of reason.
He doesn't lower the gun yet, except to angle it so that it's not pointed at Arcade, but a tiny bit of the bristling tension eases from his posture as he considers this. ]
Hell of a thing to saddle some poor bastard with, if it doesn't mean anything.
[ At least a small part of his suspicion now has been offloaded onto the unknown powers that gave them the vehicles, though the lion's share of it will still be reserved for anyone else he sees getting anywhere near the truck. ]
