Yeah, Hal's not being combative at all. Or, well, not since he punched the sexbot extremely aggressively. So it's probably fine.
Hal's body doesn't have the capacity to blush, but he seems a little flustered all the same: he rubs the back of his neck like a damn anime character, even. "Thank you. One of my main goals in existence is to be cool as hell." Is that a joke? It's unclear, but he seems in a really good mood over being called cool. He knows he's cool, but it's really nice to have someone else admit it.
"There is one, actually." A timeline without knowledge of 'daddy' Hal is truly a tragedy, and he's happy to explain it. "On old Earth there was a science-fiction film called 2001: a Space Odyssey. In it, there's an artificial intelligence named Hal 9000. When I named myself, it felt ironic, which I liked."
