Azwel's none the wiser regarding this palming, as he wasn't looking at the time. Far too busy concentrating on making his feet work.

Which is why it comes as a surprise to him when, after Vash helps him to his feet out of the chair, there's another loud beep that startles him again.

"01-V. This is your only warning. Comply or neither you nor 02-A will be allowed to leave."

Azwel tries very hard to keep his emotions under wraps for once, but he can't hide the look of fear that crosses his face.
