"Unless someone presses it out of you." Howard would squeal on almost anyone if given the right incentives, still. The incentives being pain or death. Possibly bribery.
"And if I'd got caught, I'd of what, shanked them with my ballpoint pen? Yeah, right, Anwei, if you're trying to play most defenseless here you're going to have to pry that title out of my skinny little fingers." He doesn't start berating her for almost getting him killed again, though - she bought him pens, she saved him from goons in that Percy Jackson plot, and it's been a while. Time, life-saving and gifts buy someone a lot of slack.
"So, not a big fan of killing your babies." He doesn't know if he could ever bond with an AI. He thinks he could. Anwei and Zou both seem to think of AIs as people, only without the inconveniences of actual people. It's a tantalizing prospect; years of covering for the very human faults of one of his friends has worn his out on that. "I just meant with like, the genegineering. Experimenting for the sake of experimenting there."
