[Surprise. A video feed from the local recluse. Bird-ninja. Robot. Anyway.]

[After a certain conversation with someone who will remain nameless, certain concerns have arisen.]

[... Never mind he's sitting in a medbay, hooked up to a generator, no. There are far more important things to consider than that.]

When you refuel... where do you put it? [After a beat, he clarifies.] Those of you who weren't made by humans.

Do you drink it? Or... do something else?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT OKAY. For friendship purposes.]

I see. Then maybe she was right.

... I wouldn't have been afraid.

She? Huh?

...Thanks, Kagerou. That means a lot.

Yes. She said we were friends. And was upset when she heard how I did it. I don't want to cause that again.

[Because FRIENDSHIP is important.]

It does?

Hmm. That sounds like probably Kay, if I know 'er like I do!

Sure it does. It means a lot that you'd... accept me for how I did it, even if it wasn't normal.

Yes. That's her.

[He tilts his head.] You did it for me. Why would I do it differently?

She's a great friend to have. Good pick, dude!

Mm, it's not that I'd assume you'd do it differently, but I guess I would never be sure how you'd react. I don't like makin' people wary or uncomfortable with me, so I try to tread carefully.

I didn't pick. She told me we were friends.

[Not that he sounds upset about it, he's just clarifying.]

You haven't ever made me feel that way. I... trust you.

[These are not words he can say to just anyone.]
