[ Clive certainly does know him. But he knows Clive, too. He's going to be looking out for any telltale signs.

But when Clive tries to return it... nothing happens. It's just his aether, on the other side of an insurmountable barrier. He can hear Clive's grunt of frustration, and he opens his eyes, giving his brother's hand a squeeze. ]
