[Dixon jerks away from the gesture rather than the tendril, which he doesn’t even see. He steadies himself against Revan and the Tin-Man, swaying until he finds his balance again.] Why’s he giving his side first? I was walking up like normal to introduce myself to him and he gets in my face about how I’m killing people and pulls a blade on me. That’s how this started.

[Granted, Dixon’s slurring the last half of that sentiment really hard, almost to the point of unintelligibility, so if everyone did the wise thing and ignored him it’d be pretty justified.]
