*If Sirrah doesn't just restore them, Connor will ask her to please. And he'll offer to carry them.*

*Terris and Ezrim will help carry, no reason for Connor to carry everything. Sirrah will restore any books Ezrim says he wants to take. With that, they'll all mount a speeder, and... well, Ezrim will teach Terris how to use it first, and then they can speed back to the den.*

Connor: *he...felt it before, a bit of a jolt when he first fired up the speeder, then again, stronger, when he was piloting for Terris, and now again, more than ever...he doesn't know what he's feeling...is thrill*

Terris: *will help them find a place to park the speeders at the den and will help them put the books and other items Ezrim took into places where they can be safe. And then it's time to check the animals and start dinner.*

Connor: *will take care of Crackers and the chickens*

Terris: Thank you, Connor.

Crackers: */happy/ to be out, and will nudge at Connor for some love. But also has to show her displeasure with being left all day and will start to nibble on his shirt.*

Connor: Wha- Ah! Crackers, no! *trying to get her off his shirt sleeve without hurting her*

Terris: *steps over and gives the goat’s nose a light smack with a finger.* Let him go.

Crackers: *sneezes and bleats her dissatisfaction... but then will lean against Connor’s legs.*

Connor: *lopsided grin* Two days in a row. Terris took me into town yesterday, and then we explored around for a few hours. Or...well...I explored. He already knows the area.

[socrowdedinhere]

Terris: We can take her with us tomorrow. She has friends in Sanctuary she’ll be happy to see; a grumpy old llama and a young cow. Crackers? You want to see Mata and Jeb?
Crackers: *perks! She scurries to Terris, bleating repeatedly, her short tail swishing like a dog’s as she rises up to plant her hooves in his leg!*
Terris: *chuckles and pets her.* Then behave yourself and we’ll go tomorrow.

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *that…actually gets a soft chuckle out of him, a clearly amused (and even fond) look on his face* She knows her friends names. She's pretty smart. I didn't know goats were that smart.

[socrowdedinhere]

Terris: Many animals are smarter than most think. Did you know there are birds that can learn to speak? Not Inriomai birds, just normal birds such as ravens and some parrots.

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: I understand that parrots can learn to mimic back sounds and have a rudimentary understanding of their meanings. It's where the term "parroting" comes from.

[socrowdedinhere]

Terris: *nods* And ravens can remember faces and are known to hold grudges against those who are cruel to them. They also share that information with others of their kind so tormenting one raven can get someone attacked by man. Animals are very smart.

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *nods* Still not as smart as an android. *that little grin . . . was that a joke? Yes…yes, it was an attempt at humor*

[socrowdedinhere]

Terris: *chuckles* Mmm, you’re sure now? *his tone a clear tease in return.* You do have a goat trying to sneak a nibble if your sleeve again.
Crackers: *had wandered to Ezrim, and then bak to Connor, coming up behind him and just starting to lip at his sleeve again.*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: Crackers!! *mock-scandalized tone as he lifts his arms to shoulder height* Dammit, you're making me look bad! *still grinning, though*

[socrowdedinhere]

Ezrim: *laughs*
Terris: *chuckles.* She’s quite skilled at tormenting those who offend her.

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *shakes a finger at her* You heard Terris. Behave so you can go see your friends tomorrow.

[socrowdedinhere]

Crackers: *bleats at him and will try to press her head into his hand for pets.*
Terris: *fondly watching.*
Ezrim: *damn, but he’s so similar to the androids he knew... he’s /got/ to be close to breaking his programming...*
Sirrah: *fascinated, she’s watching... waiting for that moment...*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *very soft sigh, giving in as he loves on her some more* Can I help with dinner?


((He is . . . though he'll break down frightened and sobbing before that. TT~TT))

[socrowdedinhere]

Terris: Sure. *it’s nearly done, but Connor can certainly still help. He even gets a light snug from Terrisnin thanks.*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *will snug back on reflex, happy to be of service*

[socrowdedinhere]

*After dinner they’ll sit and chat, and come time to sleep Terris woll make sure Ezrim has a place ti settle. They’ll wish Connor and Surrah a good night’s rest and will get some sleep.*
Sirrah: *will come curl up on Connor’s lap as usual.*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *settles just outside as he has the past two nights - it's nice out here, he can listen to the nightlife and watch the stars and moon pass overhead…it's really peaceful. He sits with a hand resting on Sirrah's back* This has been an interesting day…

[socrowdedinhere]

((Moons. =3 plural.))

Sirrah: It certainly has been. Did you enjoy yourself?

[cyberlifeslastchance]

((ah right right - fixed in doc))

Connor: *opens his mouth to reply but stops with a mild, worried frown on his face - he was about to say "yes"…but…he /can't/, he can't "enjoy" something…c-can he?* I…have found it to be…very informative.

[socrowdedinhere]

Sirrah: *lifts her head to look at him.* You hesitated...why?

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *winces* I…wasn't sure how to answer.

[socrowdedinhere]

Sirriah: What made you uncertain?

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *hesitates, looking away with a mildly troubled look on his face* Androids can't feel, and enjoyment is a feeling. I'm…I'm not capable of "enjoying" something, as such…


((He's...kinda lying to himself, without being fully aware he's even doing so. 9,9))

[socrowdedinhere]

Sirrah: Ah, I apologize for phrasing it so. *even though she’d done so deliberately*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *relaxes a bit at that, nodding as he looks back down at her and will pet her - that's something else he...would "enjoy"…if he were capable…*

[socrowdedinhere]

Sirrah: *smiles at him.* *and will find something to chat with him about for the night.*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Connor: *MUCH safer territory . . . he's happy to chat with her*
