Fighting the urge to fidget with him looking at her so intently, Veda nods slightly. Unique was one way to put it.
“There were… if I am remembering correctly, there was one other. I am not sure of where he is, however.” The meeting itself didn’t amount to much, nothing had come of it that she knew of. What the creature was doing now, she didn’t know that either.
Jack nodded. The idea of another robot roaming the city, disguised as a human, wasn’t a pleasant one – although if he was really like Veda, it was probably safe. Whatever she might be, the gynoid seemed like a nice person; she’d taken the trouble to bring Katelynn home when she was feeling ill, hadn’t she?
“And, where did the two of you come from?” he repeated, then added, “If I m-may ask?”
Veda’s confusion shows on her face as she watches Jack, keeping her attention on his face in order to better read the man’s mood. “We are… we are from here, this city. This is where we were… born, I suppose.” If that even fit.
“I have not known many places beyond this city, just two others. Still,” Her smile turns secretive, toying a loose thread on the couch cushion between her fingers. “Of the few places I have been, I prefer this city.”
Jack couldn’t help smiling a little at that. “I know what you mean. This city can be d-dangerous, but it can also be a very nice place. M-most of the best things in my life have happened here.” He glanced briefly at the room where Katelynn had gone.
“So … do you have any family, Veda? Friends?” He decided to say what he was really getting at. “A maker?"
