[Wheatley doesn’t necessarily expect this, but he can’t exactly trust it, either. Despite his overall naïveté, he’s been around the block when it comes to humans, and knows better not to put any amount of faith in them, especially given his most recent attempt at cooperation. He’s still squinting, but perhaps he is a little surprised that this conversation is happening at all.]

I can handle myself, thanks.

[He cannot! But he’s also riding high on his new independence, so he’s not about to admit any of this out loud, or to himself, for that matter.]

The gesture is…it’s appreciated. But we’ll see how things go. Actions speak louder than words, and all that.

[Probation!!!!]
