Thesa closed the door part of the way as he answered, looking around the place that she was going to be staying for the next few days and silently trying to decide if she should grab her things and bring them to the room or leave them on her ship.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev and Alexei headed off in a different direction, Alexei speaking quietly to the Android.

@gracehustle

Thesa sat down on the bed in the room, deciding to just go to her ship whenever she needed anything. It would be easier to keep everything together anyway.

@ElderGod-Icefire

(timeskip?)

@gracehustle

(Sure, to when)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(idk. The next day?)

@gracehustle

(Sure, do you want to start?)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(if you want me to, I can!)

@gracehustle

(Ok! Sorry I didn't reply sooner)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(it's fine!)

Zev knocked on her door. He had been sent by Alexei to check up on her and see if she needed anything.

@gracehustle

"Come in," Thesa called, clearly having been woken from a nap when Zev had knocked. She was burrowed under blankets, her hair messy and overall looking like a mess.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev opened the door, blinking when he saw her. "Alexei sent me." He said simply.

@gracehustle

"Sent you to do what?" She asked, wrapping her blanket around her shoulders as she sat up on the bed and then slowly got to her feet. Her dress stayed stubbornly around her shoulders the entire time though.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Get you." He replied, looking over at her calmly.

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded slowly, unfurling the blanket and setting it back on her bed as she straightened out the sweatpants and t-shirt she used as pajamas. "Well then let's get going, I'll come back and change if I really need to."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded a little bit. "Alright." he replied, stepping out the door again and glancing back at her.

@gracehustle

She followed him out of the room, closing the door behind her and following him towards wherever Alexei wanted him to bring her.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev walked in silence for a while, then said, slowly, "Thank you."

@gracehustle

"Hm?" She looked up and glanced over at him as they walked, "Thank you for what?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"For bringing me here." he replied, looking over at her for a moment.

@gracehustle

"Oh, no problem," Thesa said with a smile, "Are you happy to be back with Alexei?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

He blinked, considering that for a moment. "I am…unsure. I do not experience emotions. Not in the way you do."

@gracehustle

"I know you don't, but there has to be a spark of something similar to happiness," She replied, "Whatever the android equivalent to finding your creator." Thesa shrugged, continuing to follow him to wherever she was being led.

@ElderGod-Icefire

He shrugged his shoulders a little bit. "Maybe so." he replied slowly.

@gracehustle

She nodded, going silent as they walked, happy with his answer. Androids didn't have emotions, but for some reason, she almost was hoping that Zev did in some way.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev glanced at her for just a moment, then away again.

@gracehustle

"Did Alexei say what he needed me for?" She asked, wondering just how much longer it would take before they got to wherever they were headed.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev shook his head. "I don't believe so." he replied simply.

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded, "Alright, surprise it is then." She didn't seem bothered about not knowing, though there was a slight defensive change in her posture. One that would go unnoticed by anyone who wasn't watching her like a hawk.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev did not notice, and continued to walk along quietly.
