Slaves and traps

[Cactus]

If a slave sets off a trap and damages another one, can they turn against each other and fight?

Berso moves across a loose stone.
You hear a "CLICK!".
Suddenly a huge explosion engulfs everything!
Use the movement keys to position the cursor. Abort with [SPACE] or [Z].

This is your loyal slave, Berso (L: 16, DV: 23, PV: 4, Hits: 115(131), A: 4,
D: 6-9). He is slightly damaged. An explosion trap. [M]ore.

This is your loyal slave, Trollo (L: 18, DV: 22, PV: 3, Hits: 127(142), A: 4,
D: 5-8). He is slightly damaged. [M]ore.
Trollo glares at Berso in a very strange manner.

I just saw this message for the first time and wondered if that's just a flavor element or if there is a roll involved that in this case went well.

[Blasphemous]

Your tamed slaves/friends/pets don't fight each other when one steps on a trap. They only attack you, when you activate it
The glaring in a strange manner message is the same as when you order one tamed monster to attack another tamed monster so I guess this mechanic is translated on traps as well.

If one of your companions is provoked in this manner, has a ranged attack, and is not in melee range with the other one, they might have a hard time containing their fury. This can be pretty fun to watch.
