When neither the bartender nor his patron seem to think anything odd about Fern's answer, she gives a firm nod and tucks the blade away. There's a time and place to draw it and she certainly isn't going to leave it out now that she's being invited to sit; as much as the "android" might wear at people's nerves, she doesn't see any reason in harming him.
