Horvath makes an attempt to return Balthazar's smile, and it's shaky but he hopes will convey in a look that he doesn't hold any of this against Balthazar. He is not his alternate, whether by chance or sheer force of will, and their friendship means too much to him to let it go over this.

The smile he turns on Dave, however, twists a little with bitterness, which probably makes it chillingly familiar. He gives the young man a nod. "You may call me Horvath. I don't believe we're on a first-name basis just yet." On that note he turns away and heads for the back room with a rocking limp, using his cane.
