John was staring down at the felinid waiting for a response and had a little mud in his ear; he did not hear the hoofbeat of the beastman approaching and did not even notice his weapon lifted until the man finally spoke up. He turned his gasmasked head and laughed a little, [color=Red]"It's funny [i]you[/i] call [u]me[/u] bullheaded!"[/color] he began, until he realised he had no trigger discipline and his fingers were millimetres away from turning the felinid and even John into a fine red mist. [color=Red]"Err, you mind moving that hand a little away from there? [i]That[/i] is the part that makes it fling plasteel."[/color] He tried not to sound menacing, in case the goat-man saw it as a taunt and would pull the trigger not knowing what it did; if he did John at least knew Khaz would not be prepared for the recoil even though he was clearly strong enough to deal with it once accustomed.

[color=Red]"'ere, I had something for you; you behaved honourably and deserve reward for such a thing. I hope the challenge is still in effect; I'd love to spar some day."[/color] He said as he once again opened his footlocker and withdrew the old amasec. [color=Red]"People have been known to kill each other for this stuff, it's at least as old as me. I only tried it once but it tastes great, and it's got a buzz nothing else around can reproduce."[/color] He still remembered giving the same speech when handing the bottles out all those years ago when he worked in the factory. 

The way he held the weapon still unnerved him, so he amended his earlier statement. [color=Red]"Hold it by that handle there, see. You know what? Just unlock that bit there and take off that whole box, and pull out the whole of the chain will you?"[/color] He was not particularly worried about not getting the thing back, after all the other Frateris had a whole arsenal and most of them would stay behind on the planet and would happily part with their weapons. Disappearing because some feral-world born abhuman didn't know how to deal with a weapon was not part of his plans.
