But no, actually, Caleb doesn't seem to be that bothered by the AI or his friend descending into a gigglefit. Again, Molly is right: He knows what he looks like. It's deliberate. He can't get mad when people call him a hobo when he specifically cultivates that appearance. It doesn't matter either.
So when Nott gets offended for him and demands that he tell it off or break the mirror, his first reaction is to start to hold up a hand as if to forestall her. He doesn't need her coming to his defense for this, but--]
Nott, it's--
[No, she's already on her feet and in front of the mirror with him. She's very fast.
And then the mirror is laying into her. Caleb doesn't care what he looks like or what people think he looks like. If they avoid him because of it, all the better. (Most of the time.) But he knows that Nott is a different story. She cares.
...So when it starts insulting her, when it attacks them both with renewed vigor after she scratches it, he mutters under his breath and moves his hands and...
Well. Attacks it with Magic Missile. 10 points of damage. The glass cracks pretty impressively. Of course, the AI isn't in the glass so it does...jack shit to shut it up. Oh well.]
