[ Honestly, they should've expected this. Half measures have never been a thing that was Allowed, for either of them, and going this far without tripping a landmine was downright suspicious.
The impulse to ask him to stop and rewind is frozen and smashed before it gets anywhere remotely near being said. Partially because that's an obvious trap. Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200gp, and most definitely lose any points accrued for dunking him earlier. And partially because that would involve admitting that being hit by the verbal equavalent of a calculus book does not, in fact, mesh well with humans.
But they're not the average human, are they. There's a moment before old habits kicks in, but not long enough to leave them completely confused as to what the fuck just happened. It's not that different from being drilled on the finer points of batshit nazi gold economic miracles when you get down to it. ]

[ Rich brat. They even tap their chin while picking over what to say, because the words need to be Right. ]

[ Off the record? Rude as hell, but they can sort of see why. He's certainly got a knack for scare tactics. ]

[ Like. Honestly, Will, why does he think they asked him privately in the first place. ]
