There's a pause as SecUnit processes that. Good start? John gave a warning in turn. It's not that humans don't pause to gloat - one of the worst in SecUnit's experience was a stupid hired gun taking the time to go "it's not personal" in a way that made the whole betrayal she was pulling deeply and angrily personal. SecUnit hadn't felt at all bad about locking her in her powered armor. But if they're trying for an ambush they don't announce themselves.
The glowing eyes thing is not promising, though. SecUnit fixes its helmeted stare in John's direction and remains standing there, pointedly unintimidated no matter how many worst-case scenarios its processing in the back of its head. Sometimes all that it needs to do to diffuse a threat is just... be a SecUnit. It more or less worked last time.
It drops the act like a human code, all its casual body language ceasing, leaving it standing still - even the pattern of its breathing drops.
"There's a storm coming." Obviously. "What are you doing out here?"
