Oh no. Roland is caught totally unawares. In good nature, he isn't able to help himself one bit to the soft peal of laughter that manages to break his stoic defenses, though it's not one to roar or poke fun of Senku. In fact, he's finding it rather amusing in more ways than one. And he still sounds put together, as only a guy like Roland could be despite the giggles that come over him for this brief moment in time.
Only someone so used to bureaucracy back home would find actual humor in a poorly timed water cooler joke.
"Heh. That's pretty good." He shakes his head. Really, only Senku. "What I said is a common phrase shared between colleagues when you're biding time before the next work task, or between breaks. Just conversation to pass the time. Looks like I'm torturing you with small talk after all, eh?"
