If he's dislocated every bone in his body just to play you a song with the cracking of his joints, you could handle that. But a duplicate? Your heart is suddenly in your throat, and you stumble backward, knocking over a tray of various medical tools. "Wha—!" You demand, looking from the projection, back to Ronin. "..are you...!!?"

And so, with as measured a tone as you can manage despite the flush in your cheeks, you round on the man looking all too smug on the bed.
"Well now I suppose that's twice as many feet for me to inspect."
