He suffered some, at least.

[He flexes his hands, remembering the feeling of-- going cold for a moment there.]

Utter agony. I didn't know if it would work on a metal man, but, I'm glad it seemed to. I-- I suppose it was a good twist of luck it happened to him. I used it before I knew. I just wouldn't watch him kill her.

[fisherwoman]

Oh, that was you?

[She glances his way, appraising for a moment, before:]

Smart thinking. Well, if it wasn't excruciating, we won't find out from him! So I think it's fine if we assume it was.

[Happy thoughts of robot suffering...]

[headmt]

I believe it was rash thinking but--

[Well,]

I won't argue with results.

[happy thoughts of a robot suffering . . . ]

[fisherwoman]

[After a moment of thinking through why he'd call it rash:]

...Well, just make sure you don't come into another situation where you need it, then.

[She says, as if it's just that simple.]

[headmt]

Ah. Well, I was always going to use it on the person who had done that to Beauregard.

[never anything PRACTICAL like self-defense]

[There's a maybe skeptical look when he says that, but - considering everything, she holds back whatever she wants to say. Instead:]

I'm glad we found who it was before it ran out, then. [...] Though it's strange to say I'm glad we had to listen to him go on for all that time... If he was going to gloat, he could have kept it brief.
