I can't speak for the bandits- they have their own rules- but I was named by my... by my parents.

[sciencetank]

Parents?

[What are those.]

[makeshiftwings]

My mom and my dad they... [ think in robot terms, Angel ] Built me? Created me? I guess.

[sciencetank]

Ah. Creators. Yes, I suppose that would affect a few things.

[makeshiftwings]

A human's creators- parents- are usually the ones responsible for naming it.

[sciencetank]

[He reaches over to tap at the coffee pot.]

In that case, these parents have terrible senses of what constitutes a decent designation.

[makeshiftwings]

There's no way to know what a person is going to be like when they're born. I'm sure they do their best.

[sciencetank]

There must be some standard attributes to base decisions on.

[makeshiftwings]

Gender, mostly, but that's about it.

[sciencetank]

Ah, yes. That... Oddity in and of itself.

[makeshiftwings]

What, gender?

[sciencetank]

Yes.

We've no such thing.

[makeshiftwings]

Really? There aren't any... female robots?

[sciencetank]

Well. There is Arcee. But it's rather more of an aesthetic choice than it is anything as in-depth as your gender roles and sexual organs.

[makeshiftwings]

Oh. Oh, I guess that makes sense. [ awkward laugh ]

It looks like the coffee's ready.

[sciencetank]

Does it?

[You're smarter than he thought, Angel.]

[But then his attention is perked, peering down at the pot in open curiosity.]

You simply drink?

[makeshiftwings]

[ Hyperion is rife with robots. All she ever saw were robots, her dad, and a handful of scientists and engineers. ]

Not straight from the pot, you don't. And not right away. It's still hot.

[sciencetank]

[He steps back, looking at her, then motions her forward.]

Very well. Lead on.

[makeshiftwings]

[ She finds a mug in a cabinet somewhere and pours him a cup of coffee, blowing on it lightly to cool it down. Once she's confident he won't burn his tongue, she offers it to him. ]

There are things you can add to it to alter the flavor, but I thought you might want to start with it plain.

[sciencetank]

[He watches her -- closely. Maybe a little too closely, but, then again, look who it is. He's probably studying her.]

[But he accepts the mug quietly enough, before slowly tasting the contents. And blinking.]

... Bitter. More so than expected. A slightly... charred taste to it. As if the materials were scorched...

[Why yes, he is talking notes out loud to himself.]

[makeshiftwings]

[ She just nudges the sugar and cream towards him. ] Here you are.

[sciencetank]

[Her efforts are rewarded with a blank stare.]

And... those are?

[makeshiftwings]

Sugar and cream. They can change the flavor of the coffee. Most people probably do a spoonful of each, if you wanted to try it out.

[sciencetank]

[His expression brightens.]

It certainly sounds like an experiment that must be attempted.

[And he does just as she says, but not without trying the coffee first with only sugar, then adding the cream.]

... sweeter. Softer. As if it's been filtered, now. Most interesting...

[makeshiftwings]

Just don't drink too much. It'll make you jittery.

[ That advice given, she plops back down on the bed to watch him, oddly fascinated. He's so... adorable. ]
