"I'd feel much more at ease with a weapon, but unfortunately, my Sonic Blades appear to have been taken with the rest of my armor." Not that he'd seen any pressing need for a weapon; this place was unsettling, yes, but nothing had presented an immediate threat so far. Even if the flashlight in his hand might be able to serve as a crude weapon in a pinch, it was hardly suited to the task, and Harpuia felt oddly off-balance and vulnerable with only one hand occupied. Nevertheless, purely as a precaution, at least one blade would have been a welcome item.
Just... maybe not for the reasons X was considering.
Again: not a particularly dense reploid. Fefnir or Leviathan might not have questioned it, and Phantom may have been too faithful to speak up... but this was Harpuia, and "Do you have anything sharp? I want to test if I'm human or not" was a plan that raised all sorts of red flags as far as he was concerned. His expression remained as rigid and unchanging as usual, but his stare was very firmly fixed on X.
...Better not to jump to conclusions. Master X, after all, was a wise leader. Surely he wouldn't do anything short-sighted or hasty. The very fact that he didn't want to make any assumptions, even in light of the changes to their bodies, was a testament to the patient and rational mind that had built Neo Arcadia up from nothing.
"If you want to look for something sharp, then I'll help you search."
