"Yeah I am." he confirms, just as simply as she talks to him. He doesn't want to lie to her, or manipulate her. He knows emotion isn't something she's had control of for a very long time, he won't use that against her. He nodded a little bit. "You helped. I'm grateful."
He tilted his head to one side, pushing wet hair back over his neck to expose his hear and the bright purple aide sitting behind it. "I can't wear them in the shower, but when they're not on I don't hear so well." He explained a little bit, letting her know that he wasn't neglecting the baby, that she was still safe, "I probably took too long to notice, thank you, for watching out for her."
"It's part of her middle name, Honeycrisp." he should have known it wouldn't get past her. It made him a little bit nervous, not sure how she was programmed or if a reminder of her past actions might upset her, but he didn't want to lie either. This was still Peggy, still his friend. "Maria. That's her first name. Like her grandmother."
