"You've certainly got a motormouth, haven't you? Do you always leave that running or what?" Rico asks genially, like a friendly joke.

Harmonious? Vibe? Is this droid some kind of hippy? And does Rico look like the kind of person who shakes hands with anyone? He only ever shakes hands when he offers it first, or to prove he has the stronger grip. Always a laugh. But he can't exactly do that with a big drokking metal hand, can he?

Hmph. He probably did it to make him look foolish. Now how is Rico going to shake that stupidly oversized hand without looking like an idiot?

Simple.

He just leaves Drift hanging for an awkward enough length of time. Provided of course, this was the kind of droid who would even feel embarrassment.

...

"Judge Dredd." Rico says, examining the proffered hand studiously. "But my code name is listed as Arbitrator. Use the former, if you will."

And only then does he shake it.
