What else did he want? That was obvious in of itself, but that was neither here nor there. Besides, it wasn't Brainiac's place to give it to him. Brainiac only had one very easy task he was obligated to follow before Luxord grew upset with him.
The cowering was all well and good, but X needed him to pay more attention. What use would this lecture be if dear 5 wasn't about to listen, none the less too afraid to even look at the Nobody? He would need to make sure the message was strong and easily not dismissed. "I'm well aware you've plans to see her later." He leaned in, four cards sliding back into his sleeve while he kept the last, the two of hearts, to trail it slowly across the boy's knuckles and fingers. With the edge of the card, he began drawing lines (nothing to damage the skin in any way, just to let the robot feel it) across Brainiac's hands, letting them form words as he spoke.
"Of course, it would be suspicious if you did not show..."
Learn to be quiet.
"But I must ask of you to say nothing incriminating, hm?"
Don't say a word.
"I'm awfully fond of her, as you must know," otherwise, they would not be having this discussion, "and I would be very displeased if you decided to sing such an unhappy song to her."
Death is not the worst punishment for you.
He pulled back with a smile, even taking a few, kind steps away. He held out the card in his hand to him, like some sick memento for 5 to keep. "Are we at an understanding?"
