Angrily sculpted yellow eyes blinked once, twice then nodded enthusiastically and appreciatively at Melusine's praise. A momentary pause she took as she readjusted her 'grin' to settle into a more menacing expression. Her huge head slowly swiveled away from the old lady and turned to focus upon the wounded intruder at her feet. With lower jaw quivering, her metallic snout leered in close at the Ryzekt and paused once her scanners took in enough data to conclude the intruder's current threat level. Maddy leaned back away from it while simultaneously retrieving its weapon with her tail. The business end of the barrel shoved firmly and snugly into the mouth of the intruder,
"ᴘʟᴇᴀꜱᴇ ᴅᴏ ᴀꜱ ᴀᴜɴᴛɪᴇ ꜱᴀʏꜱ ᴏʀ ᴇʟꜱᴇ...

A slow and level nod she gave the wounded intruder before turning her attention back towards Melusine and the newcomer.
"ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴛ ɪꜱ ɴᴏᴡ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴀɪɴᴇᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴘᴀᴄɪꜰɪᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ꜰᴜʟʟ ꜰᴏʀᴄᴇ ᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅ, ᴀᴜɴᴛɪᴇ," said the heavily digitally distorted voice of the LoveBot sleeve,

Angrily sculpted eyes blinked twice then Maddy made a sound like she was clearing her throat.

"ᴏʜ ᴀɴᴅ ʙʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ... ᴀɢᴀɪɴ: ʜɪ, ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴍᴀᴅᴅʏ," said the heavily digitally distorted voice of the LoveBot sleeve, another friendly nod gracing the winged new comer,

Once more her sensors picked up the morphing expression upon the Ryzekt's face, but she did however re-affirm her threat by shoving the blaster another centimetre down its throat, immediately forcing it to stop slowly shaking its head.
