I keep for-get-t-ing that humans built you, sorry. Flying easily like that must be fun _{I still} more often than not.

[Frank yips and tries to lick Kagerou's hand. Meanwhile, Blurr's smile soften.]

Do you miss him a lot, don't you? You _{are always} talking about a friend but you never told me his name.

[thxforthememories]

Do you really?

[He'd thought it was pretty obvious, himself. He holds his hand back though, giving the canine a look.]

[No, bad.]

I... [There's a flicker of something very painful in his face, before he smooths his expression.] Yes. I do. He... was the only one back there who ever cared about me at all.

[raceme]

Yes. You are _{your own} person after all.

[No, to Blurr it wasn't.]

Yiiiiiiip. [The turbofox's ears drop. He was showing appreciation, really. ]

[Blurr's eye get brighter for a second before he lowers his gaze.]

I don't want to make you remember painful memories but I want you to know that it's not the case anymore. A lot of people care for you here. I do.

[thxforthememories]

Sometimes I wonder if that's true.

[He looks back down, and goes back to absently rubbing the creature's ears. It's weirdly comforting to him.]

Remembering him... it's not what hurts. [It's then remembering he's alone here.] I know. I know there are friends here... but it's different.

[raceme]

Yes, I know. [You always seems to doubt yourself, Blurr noticed it. It worries him more than he wants to admit.]

Were you and him like...eh..Rewind and Chromedome?

[thxforthememories]

Like Rewind...?

[He lets that question sink in for a minute or two, then shakes his head.]

I don't know how he felt. I... can't speak for him. So I'll never know the answer to that.

[raceme]

Yes. Chromedome is his conjunx endura and vice versa.

[Basically paired. Married.]

Perhaps he will come here one day. You could ask him.

[thxforthememories]

Then... no. We weren't like that.

[Since he has no idea what that word even means. But, it's probably a safe bet to say "no". How could he be anything like Rewind?]

It feels as if I've been waiting too long already.

[raceme]

If it's of any consolation I don't have nay-body like that either. Not many people does.

[Blurr puts a hand on Kagerou's arm, trying to get hi s attention from the turbofox.]

Days might feel like eons sometimes but you _{still have a} long time to live, you never knows what life can bring. There is no evil that lasts a hundred years.

[thxforthememories]

Why not?

[He keeps his eyes on the animal, for as long as possible. It's easier, somehow. He can relate to canines. Other robots... those are harder.]

... A long time to live?

[There's a quiet scoff, and he shakes his head. No, he doesn't. Not if what happened back home is any judge.]

It's already felt like a hundred years. Every day is... it's still hard. Being apart from him like this.

[raceme]

Why...? [Blurr looks taken aback by the question and then shrugs.] It's not as if I wouldn't like something like that BUT it probably won't ever happen.I did have someone once but things didn't go as planned.

[Ey, if it helps. Blurr won't say anything.]

I'm sorry, I wish there were more I could do.

[thxforthememories]

Why wouldn't it?

[He's like a kid asking questions he doesn't realize are stupid. Or shouldn't be asked, really.]

[He shrugs a bit.]

There isn't anything to be done. I... have to accept it. Somehow.

[raceme]

Because I'm not the sort of mech people gets attracted too, Kagerou. [Blurr just answer straight away, looking uncomfortable.]

[There's no stupid questions. Only really awkward ones.]

Maybe you need something to distract you from it for a while. A goal.

[thxforthememories]

Why not?

[Maybe he's not one to judge, considering he's pretty much only felt anything for one other robot... ever. But what's asking going to hurt?]

So I've heard. But I still don't know what.

[raceme]

ItjustDOESNThappenokay!? [This time he sounds quite irritated, He regrets the outburst immediately.]Sorry it's only that...everybody always leaves me, one way or another..

UHm. What sort of things you like to do?

[thxforthememories]

[His head snaps back, his optics going wide in surprise. He seems to freeze, startled and uncertain, even when Blurr apologizes.]

I... I see.

[He has no idea what to say to that, hunching in on himself a little.]

I fly. I sit with Kay... I'm... trying to be part of the law enforcement.

[raceme]

[Blurr is really sorry, honest. he's been having a hard time lately when it comes to partners.]

[Don't looks so sad. Franks moves closer to Kagerou, rubbing against him.]

That I knew. But you like to investigate _{or teach others} to do things, or build....?

[thxforthememories]

[He's just going to gather the creature up and hold onto him -- he doesn't even seem to realize he's clinging.]

[Whoops.]

All I know is what I was made to do. I don't... know what I like, really. Not beyond that.
