(it's fine!)

Zev knocked on her door. He had been sent by Alexei to check up on her and see if she needed anything.

"Come in," Thesa called, clearly having been woken from a nap when Zev had knocked. She was burrowed under blankets, her hair messy and overall looking like a mess.

Zev opened the door, blinking when he saw her. "Alexei sent me." He said simply.

"Sent you to do what?" She asked, wrapping her blanket around her shoulders as she sat up on the bed and then slowly got to her feet. Her dress stayed stubbornly around her shoulders the entire time though.

"Get you." He replied, looking over at her calmly.

Thesa nodded slowly, unfurling the blanket and setting it back on her bed as she straightened out the sweatpants and t-shirt she used as pajamas. "Well then let's get going, I'll come back and change if I really need to."

Zev nodded a little bit. "Alright." he replied, stepping out the door again and glancing back at her.

She followed him out of the room, closing the door behind her and following him towards wherever Alexei wanted him to bring her.

Zev walked in silence for a while, then said, slowly, "Thank you."

"Hm?" She looked up and glanced over at him as they walked, "Thank you for what?"

"For bringing me here." he replied, looking over at her for a moment.

"Oh, no problem," Thesa said with a smile, "Are you happy to be back with Alexei?"

He blinked, considering that for a moment. "I am…unsure. I do not experience emotions. Not in the way you do."

"I know you don't, but there has to be a spark of something similar to happiness," She replied, "Whatever the android equivalent to finding your creator." Thesa shrugged, continuing to follow him to wherever she was being led.

He shrugged his shoulders a little bit. "Maybe so." he replied slowly.

She nodded, going silent as they walked, happy with his answer. Androids didn't have emotions, but for some reason, she almost was hoping that Zev did in some way.

Zev glanced at her for just a moment, then away again.

"Did Alexei say what he needed me for?" She asked, wondering just how much longer it would take before they got to wherever they were headed.

Zev shook his head. "I don't believe so." he replied simply.

Thesa nodded, "Alright, surprise it is then." She didn't seem bothered about not knowing, though there was a slight defensive change in her posture. One that would go unnoticed by anyone who wasn't watching her like a hawk.

Zev did not notice, and continued to walk along quietly.
