tune

Zev nodded. "He did." he replied simply. "And yes, I am." he spoke the words without a shred of arrogance or conceit; as if he were simply stating fact. Which he was.

"Were there any other androids like you? A mix of everything and unique in design from the others?" She asked, her tipsy self asking the questions she regularly wouldn't be asking while they danced.

Zev hesitated. "I do not believe so, no. I am the only one of my kind."

Thesa nodded, still confused though as she asked her next question, "Why did they leave you on that ship then? Alexi wouldn't leave his one of a kind android to float around in the corpse of a ship unless he had another one. It would be too big of a loss."

Zev blinked slowly. "I'm afraid that I'm not allowed to share that information." He replied slowly. "I'm sorry." He wasn't allowed to say what Alexei had told him about that. "You may ask him when we see him."

"Oh, ok, could you remind me to do that when we finally get there?" She asked, hearing the song start to come to the end but not really wanting to stop dancing with him. It had been a long time since she had actually had someone to talk to on her ship, even if that someone was an android that was more important than her in every way.

Zev blinked slowly. "I will speak with him about the specifics. You just need to hail his ship, using my access codes. Which I will give you when they are needed." He replied.

Thesa tipped her head to the side again, confused since the last she had heard was that Alexi was on a planet, not a ship. "So, we're not going to Reyn?" She asked, hiding away her slight disappointment of not being able to touch down on that planet and see what it was like while also meeting one of her idols.

"No. He will be meeting us…" Zev cocked his head for a moment. "I believe at Corinth, was his original plan."

"Outside of the planet? Or just somewhere near there?" She asked. Corinth wasn't quite as long of a journey as Reyn was, only a day or two. That meant she only had a few more days with Zev's company, most likely three if everything went smoothly on fixing her ship and getting to Alexi.

"It's largest moon." Zev replied after a moment. "Unless he's changed his plans. I'll contact him later tonight."

Thesa nodded, "I'll make sure to set us on our way for there later, tell me if anything changes though, so we can meet up in the right place."

Zev nodded, still dancing with her. "Of course." He replied calmly.

The song finally came to an end and she slowly took a step away from Zev, jokingly bowing to him and smiling, "Thank you for the dance, sir."

Zev returned the mock bow, lips twisting up in a faint smile. "You're quite welcome." he replied with a laugh.

She was slightly surprised when he smiled in return but she just let her smile grow. His smile was nice and it suited him in her opinion; it made his eyes stand out as well.

Zev stepped back, still seeming so alive, so human, for just those few moments.

"Well, how was your first dance?" She asked, turning the music down a little since she wasn't planning on dancing anymore. Now she just wanted to listen.

Zev shrugged a little bit. "It was…interesting, I suppose." he replied, looking at her.

"Fun? Or not something you want to do again?" She asked, turning and typing in the destination of their trip so she wouldn't forget.

Zev shrugged a little bit. "Does it matter?" he asked, raising his eyebrows at her, just a little bit.

Thesa shook her head, "Just wondering." She turned back to look a him and shrugged, humming along to the song.

Zev nodded a little bit. "Alright."

With one last look around, she walked back to the other room, with the music still playing throughout the ship.

Zev watched her go, head cocked to one side just a little bit.
