The foot-leg might not have stepped on him, but it came close enough to resent. When Rinzler sees the user it's attached to, that really just confirms the sentiment. Bel_Thorne has oscillated between threat and irritation since Rinzler's import to this system.

They are, however, crouching (irritatingly) just out of reach. The program (cat) stands his ground, noise rattling out angrily as his tail lashes just behind. This frame might not have ranged attacks, but it does have a satisfying quantity of inbuilt weaponry, and if the user tries to detain him again, they'll regret the attempt.

The questions themselves are barely worth paying notice to—of course he's him, and do they really think he'd be like this now if he knew how to stop it? The tiny frame shifts, a wriggling twitch in the shoulders that might be a shrug... or coiling to strike.

Rinzler's a multitasker like that.
