Rock, as surprised and tiny as he was, always had to remember his manners. He had such a bad habit of grabbing and touching things when unprompted, but else can you expect with someone who had an AI of a child? Not much, that’s for certain.
With synthetic lips shaping a precious little ‘o’ shape, the little robot coos in curiosity. If one listened carefully you could even hear the fans in his system whirring a bit louder than usual-- he was so taken off guard! The artificial heart in his chest was seconds away from bursting any second now!
“Wow!” Never mind the candy (but he WILL destroy those with whatever equivalent to a digestive system he has later). He’s giving Geno a great big hug! “N-No no! That is very sweet of you; I love making new friends and I’m really happy for your words too!”
“Birthday wishes are the best, thank you so so so so so so so so so so so-” Rock. “Much!” Squeeeeeze! He doesn’t realize that his tight hug also included lifting Geno off the ground a bit. Oops.
