Was this person offering him a friendship? That was new. And very much evidence that 9S didn't know who he was dealing with and what he'd done. That could work to his advantage in the future if Rhys keeps his big trap shut.

"I'll keep that in mind but don't you worry about me." His smile is wide and sharp, full of secrets and plans. "I'm going to be fine."

And he would be. Rhys was weak. Soon enough, Jack would be the one in control and then the fun would really begin. But, he'd remember this conversation and make sure that, if he did have to kill 9S, he'd make it a cool death.
