For all their time together at the Agency, of course Seren would say no in this situation. He's never been the type to back down from a challenge, and most that know him understand that's just how he is. Never mind a development considering the circumstances that he came to be in after leaving the lamnii homeworld.

He gets his finger ready, resting right over the trigger guard. It would only take him a second to shoot. But something in him is telling him not to, despite every other instinct telling him to do so, and if it were anyone else, he wouldn't have hesitated when Jo Kai- no, Zhou Fei - steps forward.

"Like hell. So what, you lured me out here to kill me? You know that if you do that, it'll only confirm any suspicions." Which was true, and something that he didn't like to think about, but knew for a fact would be the case in the event that something did happen to him.
