Said as a point of order - it says that because it's both true and because it needs time to process that, unexpectedly more time than usual, because it has to deal with a sudden performance reliability wobble as both organic and technological components throw out errors at whatever John's doing, and it has to focus past that in case this turns into John trying a last-ditch attempt at getting out of being cornered. Or at fleeing. Still, the howling of the wind and the oncoming rain are making its risk assessment spike, and the pattern of scales that have grown in along its arms are itching in a sharply uncomfortable way.
'Staying human', what the fuck. Gross.
It doesn't tilt its head, but it can hear Levi's still-rasping breathing, and he isn't talking still - that definitely requires medical attention, which can't be administered out here.
"I don't care who you are, but if you threaten or kill anyone in this Convoy, I will turn you inside out." Not great, as far as threats go, but - the important part is the deadly serious tone it uses for it, not so much the content of the threat itself. To Levi, it says, "Keep the gun."
