There's no response, because he's still struggling with the whole "think about stars" vs "sit quietly in the Chair and not get anyone's attention" problem, and because that wasn't an order. Nobody asks the Asset if something is working okay, unless it's the arm, and the arm isn't even being worked on right now. It probably wasn't even directed at him. Too gentle-sounding.

Yeah, he's definitely not thinking he's on the Barge anymore.
