[He looks at her, glancing at him like that, labeling him as what he is: not a human, but an android that is truly alive. Carrying emotions and thoughts that belong only to himself, and no one else.

She's so quick to come to that conclusion. Never did she really consider him lower than her, something more machine than a cognizant being with a... soul. A spark of something more than just working parts thrumming with blue blood.

It's odd, how words don't come to him immediately. How his mind is not even trying to process what to say, that silence just hangs delicately between them -- the light of the TV screen flashing luminous colors across their faces.

Connor averts his gaze to the side. He doesn't feel embarrassed, not really, but there's a sting of self-consciousness rising up that didn't exist before.

But he's happy, honestly, that she believes that.]

...Thank you, Ai.

[emotive]

[Her smile is wide and she realizes it's been because of him lately. And it doesn't bother her one bit.]

You're welcome!

Oh! Good, the movie's almost done. [She doesn't need another heart attack thank you]

[Connor flexes his fingers, but decides to keep still by lacing them together in his lap. He brings his eyes back to the movie, watching the last of it play out until the credits roll, only slightly distracted.

But then-]

Did you enjoy it?

[emotive]

It was really scary and it reminds me that I can't watch horror movies alone. I will never do it alone from this point on.

[determinare]

Really? I thought it was... fun.

[He gives her a smile that is just the tiniest bit skewed.]

But at least now, if you ever need a watching companion for horror movies, you know where to find one.

[emotive]

[True. She won't watch horror movies alone anymore because Connor can be her partner in movie watching. The world seems to have grown a little bigger.]

Well, I'll try to find something that can scare us both like this one. For next time.

[How wonderful that she can say that. Next time.]

[determinare]

[He gives a little "heh".]

Then I'm looking forward to the next movie night. You can prepare your couch cushions ahead of time.
