When Rinzler pushes to his feet, Prometheus doesn't even move. He knows about the extent of the damage the program had incurred and this heat was clearly messing up his processes. In this situation, Prometheus held the upper hand even without Model W or Pandora's assistance. And even if they had started a fight? No doubt that someone would have shown up to interrupt them now that they were all on high alert. Not nearly as fun or worthwhile for either of them (wouldn't get them the result they wanted either).
He watches the program with amusement and... Satisfaction? All the intensity was gone, and if it weren't for Rinzler's response, it's hard to say that the last few seconds weren't just some glitch or another. And since Rinzler was the only person aboard to have seen Prometheus' meltdown over Pandora, he was likewise the only one that could say for sure that the previous exchange wasn't entirely an error.
"Glad to see you've still got some fight in your at least."
Prometheus stops to read the MID message before chuckling softly.
"I told you already. I know your processors are being overworked right now, Rinzler, but your memory banks can't be that terrible. Though I guess I should be fair, a lot of people seem to like asking me 'why'. Do I really need a reason?" Sounding almost amicable, it was like they were stuck being humans back in that school, instead of being a Reploid and a damaged program separated by prison bars. At the very least, it seems like he's done antagonizing Rinzler for the moment.
... It's still hard to say whether this sudden shift was meant to disarm or to further unsettle.
