Right. Well, At Least You Got It. ( Tail wagging, IMMEDIATELY pressing into the pets ... Some things don't really change for him, And pets are very much that ) I Have Been Okay. Been Trying To Keep Sconsis Company. He Has Not Been In The Best Shape. And Requested I Stay By-

oh, that knucklehead. sometimes he turns his back for a second too long. he'll come crying for it back eventually. (leans up against the gem, a hand outstretched to the android. time for pets.) where have you been, sweetie? you know it's hard to track you while you're cloaked.

I- Me? I Don't- ( Pausing, Letting out little beeps ) . . . I... Gotta Work On That... Shyness. I Dont See Myself Hiding Away...

rouge. 🩸@nocturnalgemsJan 1

you wish to be social. i'd say that's a great one, sweetie! you're quite the shy guy though. i know i installed a cloaking device for safety, but who's to say that you won't use it to escape a conversation? (hand over her smirking lips. she's poking fun at him.)

( Pause, Thinking There was... Admittedly... ONE thing he wished he would work on ) . . . I Do Not Feel Like I Have Made Enough Of A Presence... I Would Like To Work On Getting To Know People More... "Get Out More" As They Say, I Suppose...

a good place to start would be yourself. what do /you/ want to improve on with /yourself/? you're already quite the talented android, but surely there's something else you want to better about yourself?

Mmm. I Don't Really Have Many Else. I'm Not Entirely Sure What Sort Of Resolutions I Really Would Want...
