Zev nodded slowly. "Well, if you need a partner, I'm right here." He shrugged. "And I have been programmed to be able to do most things a Human can or would do." He said.

"Alright, I'll remember that," She said, the blush spreading onto her cheeks, "i'm going to finish going through these quick, and then you can choose what we do. I have a few movies in here somewhere if you want to watch those."

He nodded. "I…do not have a preference." he replied slowly. "It isn't in my programming to have one." he tilted his head slightly, watching her.

Thesa rolled her eyes, "I don't really care, just pick something you haven't done or watched yet. It doesn't have to be preference based."

Zev nodded. "Hm. Movie, then?" He suggested slowly, looking at her with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Sure, I'll go get the DVD's right now," She said, nodding and walking to a small stack of six movies. Thesa picked them up and brought them back to where he was, motioning to the living quarters, "The only TV is in there, you can choose what you want to watch and I'll be over there once I'm done here."

He nodded, and looked at the DVD's carefully, reading each description. "Alright." he replied slowly as he read them.

All of them were movies with a lot of action in them, a mix of Harry Potter, Star Wars, and even the Avengers. Her focus moved back to the food and she counted a few more rows of packets to go through before she could join him.

Zev pulled out two movies, and set them aside. "Those two." He said, looking over at Thesa.

"Sure, you can put the other ones back if you want, otherwise I'll take care of it," She replied, glancing at his two choices before nodding.

Zev nodded, and put the rest away. He sat down after that, watching her. He watched her the way a human would, with blinking and a slightly…almost distracted gaze.

Within a few more minutes, she had finished up, organizing the last of the packets without looking over at him. She finally glanced in his direction when she had finished and almost jumped, not realizing he was still there, "Have you been here the whole time?"

Zev frowned a little, tipping his head. "Yes?" He replied slowly. "Should I not have? Alexi taught me that so long as a person isn't using the bathroom, changing, or having an intimate moment with someone else, then it didn't really matter if I stayed…"

"I mean, there's nothing wrong with you staying, it's just that you're so quiet," She explained, grabbing the movies and looking them over, "I'm just not used to having company on board also."

Zev nodded. "Oh. Alright." He replied. "I…think I understand." He shrugged a little. The program was still running that made his chest rise and fall with "breaths".

Thesa nodded, walking into the living quarters to put one of the movies in, "We'll have to both sit on my bed, since thats the easiest place to watch the movie from." She tapped one of the few silver buttons directly across from her bed and a small projector turned on, one that was hidden up on the ceiling above her bed and that projected across from it.

Zev nodded, and sat down on the bed. "Do you want any help?" He asked softly, looking up at her. "Or should I just stay here?"

She shrugged and took the movie out of the case, holding the disc gently in her fingers as she walked back over to the bed and stood up on it to try to reach the projector and DVD player attached to it, "I think i have it under control, you can just stay there."

"Alright." He replied, watching her. In his mind, he was keeping track of the hours, minutes, even seconds left until they arrived at Horath. Not because he was eager to get there, but because that was what he did. He was an Android. He kept track of things.

With a little bit of work, she finally got the disc into the player and pressed play, smiling when it worked and jumping down to go turn off the lights. She flipped them off and looked over at the movie now projecting on the wall, going back over to the bed and pressing play before sitting down next to Zev. In her head she was silently humming along to the music playing and starting to repeat all the lines of the movie.

Zev shifted a little bit, watching the movie. I wonder how many movies there are in the universe? he thought suddenly. What would happen if I watched them all?

Thesa leaned back against the wall as she relaxed and watched the movie, glancing over at Zev to see his reaction before focusing back on the projected screen.

Zev remained upright. While the position wouldn't have been comfortable if he were human, as an android, obviously, it didn't matter. He watched the movie, computer analyzing the actors, pulling up information about them from his database. That is, if he knew anything about them already, it did.

"Zev, do you want me to make some popco…" She asked, trailing off with a sigh when she realized her mistake, "Sorry.."

Zev laughed, then made an almost comical face that could be called, maybe, surprise, at his own laughter. "Ah. It's…fine." he said slowly, frowning a little.
