Squall is still tense but he sees that gesture and understands what Hank is doing, so he forces himself to relax. He stuffs his hands in his pockets and slouches his soldiers, putting on the best surly teenager who doesn't know any better look.

The iteration pauses to watch Hank, paying him some heed by virtue of his affiliation.

"Report any official matters to headquarters. My duty is to enforce the peace." It turns back to Squall. "You have been cited once for attempted verbal disruption of the peace, Squall Leonhart. This is your final warning. It is recommended for all citizens to partake in the festival. Entrust your safety to the authorities. All is well."

Squall twitches in annoyance but nods, forcing himself to keep his head down. "I will. Sorry."

The iteration continues to bore its eyes into Squall before turning away to return to its post. Squall's scowl just deepens once its back is turned.
