[ Given Broca's own failure to properly judge what was hard enough to count, and still soft enough to not at least sound like it stung, he'll take the bullying with only mild wordless grumbling. This one is on him, so he can't really fault Nehan for giving him shit now. It doesn't help that Terrans are all a bit absurd in terms of strength compared to people from other planets, and a guy like Broca, still bulkier than most Terrans he knows, really has too much power behind those muscles.
He'll drop his hands into his lap where they can do no more damage, and also conveniently leaves him nice and open to the next set of dice based instructions.
He looks at the number, and nods slowly with a neutral expression on his face. That seems more in line with what the House really wants out of this. A little fun and games, but at the end still going towards something inappropriate. Nothing about his blank expression suggests he's surprised or bothered by it, though he does glance up at Nehan's face to gauge his reaction. It's tame for the Golden Peacock, but the guy is also new. ]
