[Despite her annoyance with the tone of some of 9S's questions, Arid has been fairly forthcoming in providing answers. That ends now.]

That is none of your concern.

[twoaffirmations]

Um, it kind of is? I mean, you sound pretty suspicious right now. It's best to clear that up.

[thefaulty]

[Bold of 9S to assume that Arid actually cares about his opinion of her.]

What action will you take if I do not “clear it up?”

[twoaffirmations]

You know, I'm not sure... But I don't want to resort to anything like that, seriously.

[thefaulty]

[Unfortunately for 9S, Arid simply does not find him all that intimidating. The vagueness of his threat doesn't help matters.]

My rule does not obligate violence towards you or anyone else on the station. That is all I will disclose.

[twoaffirmations]

Fine, I guess that's good enough. It's not like you've caused any trouble so far.

[thefaulty]

Your forbearance is appreciated.

[If only text could communicate sarcasm...]

[twoaffirmations]

Don't mention it.

[If only.]
