[Giovanni enters on hearing his name ring out from inside - well, more rightly, his name and model, Rammsteiner being the name of the series he belongs to, the model that succeeded to resonate with the Spine - and whilst there'd usually be some level of surprise taken from hearing the sound of it in place of 'Unit 68', or 'Dog', or just 'hey, you', it doesn't strike him in quite the same way when coming from Tieria. If Tieria ranks only slightly above the photocopier, then Giovanni ranks only slightly above a gun or sword. It's their shared inhumanity, then, that gives the sound of his full name on the other man's lips a kind of sense. A rightness.
He stands straight-backed and silent as Tieria begins talking, though when the word satisfactory with it's coating of displeasure hits his ears, his face splits on a sharp little smile. Backhanded praise, perhaps, but it's praise all the same, and he thinks he discerns the place from where that displeasure came. His own Unit's success, the other's dissolution-- it's easy to see how that petty dislike might arise.
Still. He won't hold it against him. Knows what it's like to be seen as something of lesser value.
The smile remains as Tieria continues, turns slightly sharper. Immediate termination-- those are two words he always likes to hear.]
No doubt it's what they deserve in the wake of a less than satisfactory performance.
