Near shrugged slightly. "I like robots," he said simply, still twirling that same strand of hair. His eyes moved to the cat, which at that moment pounced on some imaginary thing on the toolbox. Or perhaps it just liked to hunt metal tools.
Odd... There was no apparent hostility in Duo's part, at least not yet. And he had been one of the first people to say that he wanted to see Near dead, when he had first arrived. Perhaps things had changed? Unlikely; while it was possible, there was only a 3% chance that Duo didn't want to harm Near anymore. "I didn't have anything to do, and decided to come out of the hotel for the first time," he replied, half honestly. Truthfully, there had been many more times before in which he didn't have anything to do, and yet he had remained inside his room.
Near's eyes moved from the cat to the exit. Should he exit now, or wait a little?
