It may or may not have been the worst possible thing he could have said, but it wasn't like this hadn't happened before with other things. That didn't make her any less pissed at him and personally insulted, but hey, it was something to consider.

South didn't know Theta worried, let alone for them. Honestly, she wasn't even thinking about the little program right now, she was busy being angry at her brother and looking for a way to make him pay for being such an idiot about all of this.

When he looked down that second time, muttered that apology, it... helped. It calmed the fires down just enough that while she might still be glaring at him, it wasn't with the intense fire of a thousand suns anymore. Just a couple of suns. Better than nothing, huh...?

"Yeah, and you should be." She sighed heavily. She sounded more exasperated than angry, but both were valid. "Pretty stupid move, that one."
