[ Despite the mechanical manner of speaking about their arrangements, 9S feels a surge of energy to it. A thrill. There's a combination here: the fact that this is wrong, that they could easily get caught and reassigned or worse. But 9S finds himself more focused on the fact that he'll be able to feel close to her. He hasn't quite figured out what that feeling was that he had experienced... Joy? Elation? Love? There are so many words that at make sense on paper, but when they're spoken, he can't be certain. Not that he speaks about it. At least not around 2B. ]
[ But Pod 153 can only provide unbiased observations. And it's likely a bad idea to ask for courtship advice from a support pod. ]
[ As 2B closes a number of distance between them, he can't help but turn his glance. At least a little. Not by much, but there is enough lacking in their distance that he can feel her heat. Their hands don't connect, but his knuckle incidentally bumps at her wrist. ]
I'll be careful. Now that I know what my limitations are, it's less likely I'll need a full lower-body replacement again.
[ That, he chuckles at. Despite himself. ]
A-And I don't... Want that. No. I just--
[ He sighs. ]
Nevermind. Forget I said anything. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I don't want to screw this up. I'm happy with the outcome.
[ They're closer to the signal they had been chasing previously, but somehow? 9S' attention is shifted elsewhere. Particularly to their arrangement and the fact that 2B has essentially given the go-ahead for him to touch her again. He hasn't been able to get that out of his mind once. Not once. And it's caused manly restless nights. Sleep isn't required for an android, but recharging is always recommended. He's done the bare minimum, but not without difficulty. ]
[ His gaze shifts to her again, particularly when he smells the flower in her hair. He smiles a bit, touched that it remains there. And it compliments her features, though they're naturally perfect to begin with. But this gives a quality to her. As if... She's his. ]
[ He certainly belongs to her. Or he wants to. ]
There are plenty of places with little to no reception. Can't imagine finding a hideout to be all that hard...
