WHAT: it's strange not understanding what you are. WHERE: their apartment (Connor says she can share it as long as she needs, androids be androiding.) WHEN: July 12th. WARNINGS: tbd. STATUS: Completed
Maeve had helped Connor answer a few questions about himself that he hadn't known he even wanted to ask. Before that Markus had filled in even more blanks. So Connor knew what it was like to feel alone, to feel naive about your own design and be at the mercy of others to learn more. They had been kind to him in the process, and he wanted to do the same for Dahj.
Plus, it was just good to have the company.
He hadn't really understood how empty his apartment had been before her arrival. Only once he was sharing it with someone else had Connor begun to think he should maybe throw some decorations up, get some paintings or something. Art made him miss Markus terribly, and he'd largely shied away from it here in Vallo for that reason. But she was so full of life, so colorful in her own way, and creative in ways he hadn't predicted, and it reminded him of Markus too in all of the best ways. It didn't ache anymore when he thought back. Dahj was helping with that and she didn't even realize it.
As he waited, he sat on the couch scanning local art listings when his HUD became alight with current objectives.
[Loading known objectives.]
[Primary Objective: HELP DAHJ FEEL SAFE SC Objective: MAKE A KEEP A FRIEND]
[ACCEPT?]
[YES]
He and Maeve were the last of their kind here, and Dahj was in good company with them. Connor was going to make sure of it.
