Laconics are frequently bad. Might want to ask here about it.

So suppose there's this one character who is, to be frank, a Non-Action Guy. He's also a Nice Guy...and an Extreme Doormat. So when the bad guy is in a position where this character can kill them, and the former taunts the latter for "not having it in him" to kill them, the character...agrees. And leaves the bad guy to a Fate Worse than Death.
So...would that count as this trope? Or just Beware the Nice Ones?

Does anybody else have a hard time seeing how the laconic description does its job here?
I read it twice before reading the article, then I read it again after the article and it really doesn't come even close to being a good "laconic" description. Can I rewrite it?
If I don't get a reply in 10 days I'm just gonna rewrite it because it is seriously terrible at doing its job.
