Leo makes a quick note in the tablet at Dodge's answer before he enters the building and offers a quiet 'thank you'. He takes in his surroundings quickly, making a mental note that the plans he'd reviewed continued to align with their intended functioning. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, perhaps more people rushing, given the few instances he'd seen security personnel in action have always been in response to more high-stakes incidents. It could almost be another office building here... if it weren't for the checkpoints and the sheer number of weapons everyone seemed to carry.
A few quick checkmarks register on Leo's tablet before he turns to look up at Dodge again, face stretched into a polite smile. "Looks like you and your team have got an efficient set-up in here," he remarks, thinking that it may be a quick audit after all, if Dodge ran as tight a ship throughout the building as he did here. "I'd love to see any spaces that haven't been used as they had been planned initially - definitely the vital areas for emergencies, evacuations, and rooms for data and electricity management. Also areas for any lifestyle needs, sleep quarters, showers, canteens if you've got the time today. I've got tomorrow blocked off too if we can't get to everything."

Dodge hadn't planned on testing the architect's reflexes with his abrupt stop (at least not this early in the day), but if it had been a test, Leo would've failed. He catches himself before collision, luckily, but it's a strike against him in Dodge's "Reasons I Don't Care For This Mutant's Company" journal, a list as judgmental as it is unforgiving.
Still, he can see the subtle flicks of Leo's pupils as he glances over the structure, especially lingering on the windows and doors, and his attention to detail is noted, almost appreciated. Maybe this won't be a total waste of time. "No bottle-necking... security on the outside and queues on the inside." Dodge's answer is practiced, slightly sharp to ward off any potential insinuation that a crowd could gather on his watch.

He turns away again to walk inside though, this time, he holds the door open for Leo in a suggestion of politeness. "There's not much in the entryway to show you - we keep it clean for the public's sake - but we have a series of security hallways and rooms for emergency lockdowns, if you're interested in seeing them."
