Ayida: *follows Darnell down the hall.*

Raven: *will reach out to lightly pluck at Connor's sleeve.*

Ayida: *little smile* He likes you. He likes kind people.

Raven: *quarks and leans to try to see Darnell better.*

Connor: Oh, ah...thank you. *small grin*

Darnell: *quietly keeping himself on the opposite side of Connor from the bird*

HB: *to Connor* You don't act like the androids I've seen around.

Connor: I'm an RK800, a prototype detective assistant android designed to be able to take a more active role than conventional androids.

Xan: Also you're alive.

Connor: */flinches/, a look of fear darting across his face* I'm what?

Xan: *oblivious to Connor's discomfort* Alive. You're different because you were designed that way, but now also because you're alive. You have a soul. It's why Death was able to draw you here like the rest of us.

Ayida: Xan’s right. You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t alive, honey. I don’t begin to understand how, but I know its truth.

HB: *nearly pokes himself in the nose with the cigar he'd been about to take a puff from, flinching to catch himself* Damn. *stubs it out, grabs his jacket, and heads out of his quarters to start making arrangements*
Xan: *still weak yet but has enough strength in him for this . . . the Hunt house is right on the edge of town, so he'll climb all the way up to the roof and plant himself where he can see the access road out for at least a mile or two. Short of it raining, he'll stay there till he sees or senses Ayida's approach*
*Darnell and Connor look at each other, confirming without a word that, yes, that did just happen. The TV's turned off and each gets up to get to work, Darnell packing while Connor makes airline arrangements. They'll let Thomas know what's going on once they're on the way to the airport.*

Ayida: *was cooking dinner...she’s relieved to see no time seems to have passed, her fish is still raw. She’ll finish up, eat, then pack before heading out.*

*It’s late when Xan will spot headlights heading for the town, not just past, but to. He’ll also spot Davi approach, the bird circling the Hunt house a few times before coming to settle on the roof beside him. Davi burbles at him, lightly plucking at an arm in hello.*

Xan: *hopping and waving* Davi! Davi! *once the bird lands, he pet him* Hi. Thanks for coming. Think you can carry me down?

Davi: *quarks and fluffs his feathers.*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Xan: Thanks. *will climb onto his back, settling between his wings*

Davi: *feathers fluff and settle and he’ll take off. Xan will feel.... energy seeping into him from the bird, revitalizing the energy he’d lost.*

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Xan: *lost a LOT, used just about everything he had to fend off the demon horde – it took him over a day just to regain consciousness. But however much Davi can spare gets him a /hug/ as the doll clings* Thank you.

Davi: *will land on Ayida’s parked car with a caw. His sparkles to energy under Xan, settling the doll lightly atop the car before the energy flows into Xan. He’s still got some recovering to do yet, but he’ll feel much better.*
Ayida: *steps out* Hey, honey. How y’feelin’?

[cyberlifeslastchance]

Xan: *distressed* Oh! Oh! I didn't just absorb all of Davi, did I?
