Add had been...grinning? But why would he be happy about making them angry? The final piece for that puzzle fell into place when the next wave of questions came. Now they understood. They were being treated as a research specimen, not a person. At that realization, they turned their head away with a wilful pout. He wanted Turing to talk? They wouldn't talk, then. Hmph! Despite their cute appearance, they did, in fact, have a slightly bratty side.

It would become very clear that they were very selective with that side though, because when Raihan asked they did break their self-imposed 'no talking' rule without skipping a beat.

"Yes, he is being quite bothersome."

Turing was still being diplomatic, but maybe a better way of putting it was that they were still using diplomatic words. For now.

"Eh? Is that bothersome to you?" Somehow, he still cannot take a hint. Being ignored and called a bother... is so interesting!! "I haven't done anything wrong, have I? And you still haven't refuted my claims... could it be you're at a loss for words? Kukukukuku..."

He's just going to keep inching closer and chuckling ominously until someone drags him out of here by force, probably. He is far beyond the point of reason.

"Even when you're trying to hide it, that dome is so expressive... ahhh, but I bet it looks even more beautiful underneath...!" He exhales a dreamy little sigh as he fantasizes about taking Turing's head off. There's really no telling how deep this hole can go.

It's a little irritating to see a guy act so shamelessly aggravating, but not much more than that. Raihan is more concerned with keeping Turing safe than anything else; he doesn't know if the stranger is actually going to escalate it to something more than words.

"You called them 'useless', if I heard right. Most people would say that's a pretty crappy thing to do!"

He definitely doesn't like the way that he's inching closer to Turing; he takes a couple of strides into the room, putting himself between the robot and this potential loose canon. Call it the instinct of a person that's used to being a protector.

"You know, it's important to be able to read the room. I have a feeling you've overstayed your welcome..." He trails off, glancing down to Turing for confirmation. Do you want him to kick him out? Because he'll absolutely kick him out.

Ohhhhhh no, Turing did not like this on any level. As Add inched closer they inched away just as much, and Raihan's intervention was greatly welcomed. It was only after that intervention that Turing realized how tense their posture had been. It was still there on some level, mind, but it helped, and it reminded them just how tense they were in the first place.

Of course, then they started thinking. Did Add really want to take their head apart like that? What if it didn't end there? It seemed they were remarkably good at finding themselves in dangerous situations ever since escaping Hayden's apartment that fateful day. They were lost enough in their own thoughts that it took them a moment to respond to Raihan.

"Y-yes, I agree."

They glanced at Add, not quite able to look him straight in the eye, and addressed him directly. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

He was getting one last chance from Turing to end this more or less peacefully. Failing that, it was all up to Raihan.

Turing's reactions are so much different from what he's used to! It makes him want to cackle with joy—truly, the unpredictable nature of a free-thinking AI is one of the world's greatest pleasures! Even if he's stuck by himself in a strange world, he can never be bored with so many fascinating machines around...!

Alas, he's rudely interrupted before he can properly celebrate by this annoying guy standing in front of him. His immediate reaction is to... try and push him out of the way, barely even listening to his words, but this guy isn't exactly a lightweight. Only after that attempt fails and Raihan makes it clear that he's blocking the view on purpose does Add decide to acknowledge him again with a glare.

"Who are you supposed to be, a bodyguard? Mind your own business." ... though he can't really ignore that Turing is also asking him to leave now. He leans over to look around Raihan. "I'm not finished here yet! I only have one— no, two more questions left, then we can continue this at a later time!"

[rotomphone]

While Add feels like cackling, Raihan feels no such thing now that the conversation has taken a more threatening turn. He's not yelling, of course, but he stands tall and strong to try and avoid things getting any worse. If Add tries to get any closer, he'll simply step in his way - a nice perk of being ridiculously tall.

"Just a friend looking out for a friend. You made it my business when you started making low-key threats, you know?" He looks down at Add, cocking an eyebrow as he moves to block his view again. "You heard them, then. Off you go."

If he doesn't go after this, there might be... issues. Raihan would prefer it wouldn't get to that point.

[psychokinesia]

Add continues stubbornly trying to inch his way past Raihan, but eventually he does have to admit this plan isn't working. This asshole is impeding his research efforts... the worst crime of them all! And what's this nonsense about making low-key threats?! He hasn't threatened anyone! He's just been interviewing this fascinating new specimen, that's all!

"You're completely misunderstanding the situation," Add persists. He may have given up on getting around Raihan, but he is not moving one inch until he can clear all this up. "I was just running a simple experiment, there was no harm done at all! What does a machine matter to you, anyway? Like I said, I just have a few more questions I wanted to ask, then I'll be on my way..."
