Too late, Balthiel, you're the first human it's seen up close and now it's going to think all humans are like that for a while.
And then maybe it will inflict those expectations on other people to be funny. That's how it goes with V1!
Balthiel instructs it to get back, but there's blood to be had and besides, this is what it's made for. It steps to the side to give him room to work, and then there's the metallic ping of...a coin being thrown into the air?
Then there's a sharp, echoing crack as it fires its revolver, the electric bullet reflecting off the coin and straight into the lizard's eye. There's a spurt of blood (V1 is vaguely annoyed it's too far to catch) and the beast roars in pain, momentarily distracted.
