His eyes were on WARLoCK, so he didn't notice how she seemed to be slightly impressed with him, "They did. He's part of the interface. But I've been talking with him since the surgery and was able to convince him early on to be my friend and tell them all to fuck off if we ever got the chance."
In response, WARLoCK 'nodded' - it's whole body moving up and down, then lifted a small, three-clawed hand and showed Laura that it could give someone the finger easily enough. A 'happy' sounding electronic buzz followed.
Doug looked back up at her, grin dominating his face.
