[Rhys has already been bitten by a vampire since the end of the flood, so you'll have to forgive him a bit if his first reaction to that arm around his shoulders is to immediately jerk sideways, getting a small window of space between himself and Xigbar before he fully registers who it is beside him.
When he recognizes Xigbar, he calms down, a little. They aren't exactly best buddies, but he likes the guy well enough.]
[There's a nod, easy as anything, and although it's pretty clear that Xigbar isn't going anywhere, he doesn't object to Rhys pulling away a little. The point is to talk, not make Rhys any more uncomfortable than he might already have been.]
I hear you've got one stripy demon's communicator.

[Rhys relaxes visibly, now that he knows what the other man wants. Okay, you can keep your arm there.]
I don't have it anymore. Gave it to Hange yesterday.

[Sure, BJ had been the one to bring it up, but Xigbar had offered, rather than being more directly sent.
