Captain watched the pacing with a wry, glassy smile -- one that covered over the fact that their cheek was beginning to feel as though it was going to freeze fatly into a magnanimous grin. As Snippy spoke, they flung individual fingers up to categorize each wish.
"Such unfun wishes, Mr. Snippy! Pilot would have chosen something more challenging!" Meet Captain's stage whisper, which was still louder than an indoor voice, but which had the added benefit of sounding constantly conspiratorial. From now on, it was going to be a very annoying companion to the huge human's presence. "Consider your leetle metal scabbies friends with which I hold a loving and familial respect," however, addendum added with the gesture of a warning finger, "and as a loving familial governor, I declare Modesty Of The Ports days! Neglect punishable by threatening pointing!"
Captain took their time considering Snippy's last wish, as it was a doozy. "The last wish is three more wishes, my minion, and so is declared invalid! Now help me from my place on the floor and put back together my mug!!"
