Well, at the very least, that question stops the growling. For now. Hard to say whether the toothy grin it put on Looma's face was any better, but if the human scanner was on her A game, it would at least come with signs of at least a small victory. Looma was, obviously, a far cry from being cooperative, and there was a lot of hate for the good doctor- no amount of forced pleasantries could hide that. But, Looma was at least beginning to show signs of actual restraint and a more calculated approach to the situation. She bled here- from hitting things, no less! Which meant no matter how pitiful she might have considered human weaponry, it could probably actually do something now.

Pride would keep her from simply rolling over of course, but knowingly or otherwise, Diya had at least earned some momentary respect for not backing down. Had Looma been at her proper size, that respect would probably buy her several years of...tolerable behavior. As it stood now, Looma could probably at least convince herself to give the woman a few minutes.

"No, it is obeyed. Which means you are either of no use to me-"

And there she goes talking with her hands again. That much wasn't personal, the princess just had a habit of adding bullet points with each hand whenever she's making a list. So, naturally, each hand was counting off a separate possibility for the woman. On the plus side, she wasn't shouting anymore- just naturally loud. The girl clearly had no grasp of an indoor speaking voice, even now.

"- you're more foolish than any other human I've encountered, or-"

Her voice slipped out of the neutral realm of simple, directionless loathing for her third point, mostly because that one actually was personal. Because Looma had to push buttons.

"- you humans are so incompetent you have no idea who you've taken. So!"

And without any further need for visual aids, her hands go right back to her side for that continued projection of impatience. Well, two of them anyway- her lower arms are folded over her chest. Not just because that hand still kind of hurt (truth be told, that was actually kind of exhilarating in its own mildly terrifying way), but because she was in fact very dedicated to showing just how little she cared for just about everyone involved in her current predicament. That, and Tetramands were notoriously poorly mannered around people they didn't like.

"Which one are you, human?"
