Zev sat down, watching her for a long moment.

"I'm bored, what should we do?" She asked, rolling over to look at him from her spot on the mattress.

Zev shrugged. "I do not know. I do not require entertainment." He replied slowly.

Thesa sighed and shook her head, "You might not, but I sure do."

Zev shrugged again. "I don't know." He replied slowly.

"Wow, you're fun," She replied, rolling back onto her side and going silent for a minute before grinning and sitting up, "Bingo." Thesa stood up and looked over at him before walking to the cockpit of her ship and starting to mess with some of the buttons.

Zev raised an eyebrow, and followed her after a moment. He watched her carefully, head slightly cocked to one side.

"Any favorite type of music?" She asked over her shoulder, still messing away with some buttons and connecting a cord to one of the outputs on the panel.

Zev shook his head. "No." He replied. He was an Android; he didn't have favorite anythings.

Thesa shrugged and smiled, pressing a final button and listening as a random song started playing over the speakers in her ship. It wasn't really loud, but there definitely was music playing throughout the whole ship.

Zev cocked his head a little, listening, but didn't say anything.

"Know how to dance?" She asked, grinning and turning up the music a little before dancing in place a little.

Zev thought for a moment. "Yes, I suppose. It was programmed in."

"Like, you actually know how to dance? Or you just follow the pre programmed steps and dance like a robot?" She was still busy dancing, though now she was starting to actually dance and not just do a little joking dance. She wasn't following any dance and was really just moving around how she felt went along with the song, calling it dancing.

Zev blinked slowly. "I am a robot." he replied. "So…the second option, I suppose."

She sighed and shook her head, stopping her dancing for a minute, "I mean, are you going to let loose and act unstiff, or are you going to dance like you have a pole up your back and you can't move off of it?"

Zev blinked again. "I…am unsure what you mean." he replied slowly, cocking his head.

"Just…dance quick." She waved a hand and watched him, still halting her dancing to see if he was just following an actual dance or if he was going to somewhat make up his own moves.

Zev danced. The same thing programmed into his head all those years ago.

She watched him dance for a minute before shrugging, not able to decide completely what type of dancing was more accurate. He was pretty stiff as he danced, though she wasn't sure if was from him just following the programming or if his joints were still bad from all the years with no repairs.

Zev stopped after a moment. "That is how I am programmed to dance." He said, looking at her calmly.

"Maybe loosen up a little bit," She suggested, shrugging and turning up the music a little louder before starting to dance on her own again.

Zev blinked. "I cannot loosen. My joints would fall apart." He replied.

Thesa rolled her eyes and once again stopped to talk to him, "Not literally. I mean when you're dancing, try to act more like you're not following a program and more like you might be thinking it up on your own."

Zev blinked slowly. "Hm. If you say so." He replied.
