[ Part of 2B wonders if she acquiesces to his demands easier now; another part of her says it doesn't matter. She throws herself into combat with a gusto that isn't terribly unlike her usual on the outside, but internally, the entirety of her mind is a mess. She tries to sort her thoughts, to keep herself steady, but to no avail.
As the machines fall to her blade, she hears the quick footfalls of 9S as he closes the distance between the two of them. She turns to face him and immediately regrets it: his smile disarms her, though her expression remains unchanging.
To know that she'll have to end him for not even the first or second time eats away at her. To see his face, so open and eager, actually stings. 2B turns away quickly, driving her blade through the torso of a machine that hops its way towards them. ]
Tell me about these signals you detected. [ She says, her tone as even as ever even as she slashes her blade in an arc before her, dismembering a few more machines. She hasn't noticed the flower behind 9S' back, or even the fact that he has a hand behind his back at all. ]
