A Rung left alone would smile at that and decline. He likes to crush glass too but he's found others don't care for his rages.

This Rung smiles and promptly slams the manacle around his wrist into a rock, a crack going up the width. And into him. Ow.

Some things can't be fought.

"Gah! You're real!"

He startles. Chains rattle, whipping against his leg.

Then he pauses. Slowly, he approaches, one hand held out to... just delicately touch an arm. Just to affirm.

"And just be caught again? Mm, no."

As with any working mechanical under Functionist rule, he flinches at the touch. It's the only thing he hasn't been able to work himself out of, even if it always results in a laugh or a punishment.

Rung, browsing what small spaces of the web he can reach, nearly jumps when the notification patches through. Usually, comms. meant commands.
