[Benson doesn't even know where to start with this. Equius said he broke things but that...has to have been by accident. The kid is kind of wound up but he seems like a good kid deep down. So it must have been an accident. God, he should probably ask if the kid is alright because of that.

His brow just narrows as Equius goes on. His superior? God, he didn't think the kid would take this that far. In a way Benson's happy Equius WOULD do what he asked and would do it quickly and without question, but he didn't want him to think he was his boss for God's sake.

As much as it would be nice to have a worker like Equius. Hell. It'd be nice to have someone do what he's doing but good god. He really is still just a kid. Benson just looks at Equius for a moment, dumbstruck, before he can finally find the words he's looking for.]

No. That's...

Look. There are times where for your safety I'm going to tell you to do something, and I need you to do it so you don't get hurt. But you don't have to follow my every word and act like it's a command. I...don't know still how it works back home for you but that's not how it works for me.

Everything shouldn't be about just pleasing me. You have to please yourself too.
