"The others told me you were a team," he says, at length. "Isn't... that part of being a team? Discussing these things?"
He blinks, staring back for a few moments before looking away again. There's still a part of him unwilling to look his previous pursuer in the optics. The gratitude only makes him duck his head, mixed feelings struggling with each other in his AI.
"It doesn't hurt, for what it's worth... the alteration." Even though he'd been more than reluctant to have it done, spending days attached to a generator. "The others will want to see you, too."
