Kari had never seen this particular reaction from Grilka, although he'd expected something would happen. He took another step away from Neph, grinning apologetically at the small, panicking droid. Later, if they survived, he'd tell them the story of how badly it went when he first met Grilka. Although it had nothing on this.
Kari was distracted enough that he half breathed in before having a moment of realization, exhaling quickly, and waiting until the cloud dissipated a bit more. He didn't cough or wave a hand through the cloud, although it would have helped. He was too invested in being pretty and cooperative for that right now. Plus, he was pretty sure if he in anyway indicated that he, too, had absolutely zero control over the situation, Neph would discover that robots could have panic attacks on the spot.
The back of his head began to tingle; he endeavored to ignore it. He'd only inhaled a little bit. He'd be fine. It wasn't like it had a particularly interesting effect on humans, although it could be fun if he was going to be attempting something, ah, athletically daring, where a relaxed body was a definite benefit.
Oh, but before he got a little too chill about the situation, he should probably help. He felt like he should probably do at least some mild translation into Grilka's language of choice.
"Neph here is something of a like-minded philanthropist," Kari informed em, sprawling out in a nearby chair, all long limbs and gown. "Specifically, they like to, ah, preserve factoids from interesting people, things that are important enough not to just languish inside someone's mind forever. As you can imagine, with such a noble cause, they feel it's particularly important they preserve things from people who are about to have a run of bad luck, and, well, you know, with my little premonitions, they thought I could help make sure they got there before the bad luck hit. And of course, I said I just had to introduce such a thoughtful little fellow to you, Grilka, seeing as how you're the real expert when it comes to karma and luck."
There. He'd done his part. He leaned his upper half down onto the table, stretching out like a cat. "And they're so cute. I know how much you love cute things."
