Knowing the full scope of who is talking down to Caspar definitely brings the point home. Even without having met him, the mental image of anyone being loomed over by a machine like the one Adia describes is rather humorous. Well, assuming she and none of her friends are the ones in that position, of course.

"That is quite the shovel talk," she agrees with a small, huffed laugh. "As intimidated as others may have been, though, I have a feeling Caspar wasn't as worried about it. Especially if he's gotten the talk from so many others." It makes Amelia less likely to give him a talk like that herself, since he's heard it so many times. She doubts she can add anything that would possibly scare him the way talks like that are intended to.
