It waits a whole 4.2 minutes of Jack working before it settles in, arms crossed, at one of the tables, staring at the opposite wall. Its expression goes vague, abstracted - from the outside it might seem to just be spacing out as it waits, but of course it's taking advantage of the wait to play media - episode 12 of Sanctuary Moon, which isn't as good plot-wise as later arcs but was the point when the show started to find its footing, as far as SecUnit is concerned.

And it's monitoring the language, too - it has hints of one of the Preservation standards that overlaps with one of its Corporate modules, with enough differences in dialect to need the local translation module's help. It filters and parses it in background.

None of those inputs are enough to occupy enough processing space to surprise it when Jack finally makes his request. It shrugs, then turns the gesture into lifting its arm in silent permission. "Sí," it says, slipping into the closer language module.
