"Are... you all right?" he whispers, checking his biological databanks. The numbers say her stats aren't in the dangerous range for a human, but it's unnerving nonetheless. He's not used to such sounds or signals from his companion.
On the other hand, he's quick to dart out and latch onto that keypad. The faint light of his interface link bathes the keys. "I've got this- just hold on a minute..."
His attention is entirely on the system he's tapping into, feeling out the connections and analyzing the best way to trick or bypass or crack the security. By way of explaining the delay he explains, "I can't detect biological traces on the keys."
