[Oh, but it's too late to come back from that, IV. He takes note of that snippy reply and grabs onto it.

Why would you want to share it...?

[Staring IV down with a calculative squint, dragging this out as much as possible while watching for his reaction.

Yeah he's having too much fun with this.]
