In that moment as Captain toppled Snippy's eyes went owl-wide as well. After all these years, after all the provocation and outright cruelty he'd endured, he'd finally managed to smack the bastard right in the face... he'd have whooped if he'd not been frozen in shock. Even Captain's kittenish weakness hadn't completely convinced the paranoid part of Snippy's brain that his companion was just another normal human.

"What did you just stick in my head?!" He yelled as soon as he became unstuck from his shock. He was louder than he'd normally be inclined to be, but the stares from his coworkers felt a little too judging, so he wanted to make sure they could hear that he was justified. "G-dammit, that's a port into my brain, you could have killed me!"
