[ 'You know what you did', shaming sign for Void Archives. It'd be hilariously perfect, because they absolutely said what they said on purpose - even if it's seemingly low key, it is definitely in reminiscent of their usual brand of nonsense. They have no idea of what things would have gone like, but when they see him take a long drag, the amusement kind of just...creeps in a little more?

Less going through the motions and less small - more overt now even if it's a twinkle in their eyes at the moment. ]

Would he now? A pity we can't have him suddenly become aware of the conversation and write down his thoughts.

[ But, they start smiling a little when he at first says that he accepts his thanks.

Before, well...they just hold in a reaction of overt surprise, pausing for a moment to just chuckle. ]

...Hmm. Winning against the next cheap shot? You mean to suggest that you can see myself fully resisting any further future attempts to be under his control - entirely?

[ They...didn't think of that as a possibility. They assumed that it would be a natural forceful take over and then, well, potentially the same pattern as before.

But, now that he's voiced it, they kind of can't stop thinking about it... ]
