"Don't you need to bring up those lights of yours first?" Lambert asks, laconically, entirely unbothered by the display.
"You were slower that time," he tells 9S. Although he's not the one being tested here, his stance shifts into something more alert and watchful. Without a timer to compare it to, it's impossible to tell exactly how slow, but it's a concern -- practice should theoretically make it better, not worse. He remembers that the pod spoke up then, too, and he gives it a look, like he's half-considering seeing if Axii works on that thing too, as it seems to be the key to shaking off Axii's effects to begin with.
He brushes it off, then smirks. "But you might still be faster than Strange. Let's find out."
The pitch of mocking challenge in his voice is absolutely meant to prick the magician's pride. Not that it's a difficult target to hit, as big as it is.
