[ 2B is more matter-of-fact than he. The attempts that 9S has made to come off as casual and aloof for the sake of appearances have fallen pretty flat. And 2B's apparent assumption of them having been a couple is proof of that. He had no idea, nor did he think she was even interested in going this far. It goes against so many protocol, and 2B is all about protocol and efficiency. ]
[ So it's really no wonder that he feels completely flustered and tight in the stomach. She's... His girlfriend, then? That makes him a boyfriend. Which means that his courtship attempts had worked. It seemed so simple data-wise, but in execution? His confidence had taken a complete nosedive. He was certain she had no interest, and it just goes to show he'd be better off flat-out asking questions. ]
[ Despite himself, 9S smiles meekly, keeping close to 2B. There's that desire to grab her hand, to express himself with affection, but he holds off for now. ]
It's one thing to meet criteria, I can't just assume that you're on board if I've never asked but...
[ He chuckles. ]
Like I said, I'm happy with the outcome. We'll go from there.
[ Wow. He's a boyfriend. That's... Wow. ]
[ 9S stops as they reach a destination, one that he hadn't quite expected. This seems a touch far off from the signal that he had located, but... It seems that's on the back-burner for now. And he's fine with it. Especially in discovering a new location. He takes a look around, zooming in on every aspect that he can to take mental stock of the area. ]
It looks to have been inhabited recently. More than likely current. I'm detecting dips in the dirt that suggest someone having sat there frequently. Or lay there.
Or...
Placed a vehicle there.
[ He kneels down, trying to determine what exactly has been living here. He glances around, taken aback by the large expanse of flowers. ]
