[Rico likes the reaction he gets from the juve. How much of his behavior is an act or not is unknown even to him sometimes, but it's moments like these where he enjoys, for a lack of a better term, freaking people out. Even better if it's genuine on his part.]

Exactly. I'm glad you get it. Some people can be dumb as drokking rocks, but they'll learn eventually. You can tell a person not to stick their fingers in a socket a thousand times, and they'd still do it. And then they'd kick up a fuss that you didn't stop them. Grud, I've certainly met some stupid enough to.

[Rico shrugs. There's not much he can say that doesn't come out like an unspoken threat one way or another.]

Sometimes it's the only way idiots like them can learn. So really, it's the compassionate thing to do.
