[A snort.] Martial arts, kid. I wasn't always doing this.

It's not a... special ability like many people here seem to have. It's just part of learning how to read a person. [He slips the tip of a blade under the meat and tilts his head to hear the sizzle. Still not the way he likes it, which is medium rare.] Reading your opponent, getting into their mind. Better than to block an attack, is to prevent it from happening. And it all starts with the eyes, really.

[He manages to glance at the motion and hurries to pick up the meat, place it on his plate. The (new) droid does nothing, which is a win.] They allow me to see surfaces through a 3D render. I can't see colors or your irises, for instance, but after I got used to it I can tell when someone shivers.

[A beat, and he removes them, and unseeingly points at blade at where a plate of the droid joins with another, a clear threat, ["points for intimidation skills!" it titters] as he leans forward and hands them out to him across the table.] Try them out. [A smirk.] Careful, they're expensive.
