I'm sure he didn't feel very comfortable about being called out on his pretenses. And possibly about the idea of salvaging a dead companion's tablet, but that really seems like the kind of discomfort we'll all have to put up with if we expect to get anywhere.

[He's perfectly ready to admit that he wasn't all sunshine and rainbows in that exchange. It's fair enough.]
