[ FIX ] sender cleans something off of receiver's face ( to connor rk800, from tess )

a list of casual yet intimate interactions / accepting.

she's  cold.  it's  the  first  thing  he  notes  when  her  fingers  press  to  his  cheek,  chilled  against  his  synthetic  skin.  so  much  so  it  elicits  a  twitch  of  his  brows,  an  auditory  outtake  of  breath..  for  a  moment  he  nearly  believes  her  to  be  another android-  and  if  it  wasn't  for  the  steady  beating  in  her  chest  the  conclusion,  almost,  would've  been  plausible.  almost.

behind  them  the  paramedics  seal  off  a  body.  the  perp  -  a  caucasian  male,  late  thirties,  with  an  alcohol  concentration  reading  of  0.12,  is  being  read  his  rights  by  another  officer.  the  struggle  had  been  brief.  connor  had  -  fortunately  -  been  on  the  scene  to  prevent  the  inebriated  man  from  further attacking  any  other pedestrians,  receiving  minimal  damage  himself.  unfortunately  -  there  had  been  no  need  for  a  negotiator.

nevertheless.  his  system  churns,  a  tolerable  *75%  success  rate  circulating  through  him.  now  he  stands,  bent  over  ever-so-slightly  for  her  to  -  as  the  word  seems  to  follow  him  around  lately  -fuss.  the  shallow  cut  on  his  jaw  having  already  begun  healing  over,  excess  biomaterial  shifting,  moving,  relocating.  therium  steadily  streaming  down  pale  dermis,  a  glorified  faucet.

"are  you  alright?"  asked,  even  as  her  hands  move  to  wipe  away  the  remaining  blood  on  his  face  -  staining  her  digits  a  blossoming  blue.  "my  sensors  indicate  an  abnormal  temperature  reading  within  your  person.  yet,  i  do  not  see  any  signs  of  hypothermia..."

[ PICK ] sender telling receiver to "hold still" while they remove something from their hair ( for connor rk800 )

a list of casual yet intimate interactions. / accepting.

perhaps  if  he  was  capable  of  empathy  he  wouldn't  find  her  actions  to  be  so...  trivial.  a  biometric  technicality,  surely.  an  aesthetic  concern  that  remains  lost  to  him,  his  programmed  psyche  —  /  humans  grew  uncomfortable  too  easily.  if  anything,  he  had  felt  the  weight  of  the  leaf  more  than  the  possible  irritation  that's  meant  to  come  with  having  something  stuck  to  his  person.  a  celtis  occidentalis  foliole.  0.0172  grams.  the  stem  had  formed  an  abscission  layer  sometime  five  days  prior.  (a  genetically  predetermined  death.)  —he  would've  let  it  remain  in  place  until  it  fell  away  naturally.  he  should've  known  he  wouldn't  get  far  without  assistance.

not  that  it's  not  appreciated,  of  course.  someone  in  the  precinct  would've  told  him  off  for  it.  maybe  another  passerby  would've  stopped  him,  lecturing  him  about  "if  he  was  to  pretend  to  be  human,  he  should  at least look  the  part."  ..  this  interaction  is  much  more  preferable.

it  doesn't  mean  he  won't  correct,  though.

"the  hair  used  on  RK-models  do  not  contain  any  synthetic  material  that  will  deteriorate  if  in  contact  with  plant  life."  his  face  remains  perfectly  serene  as  he  speaks  -  the  only  sign  her  request  is  heard  being  the  led  on  his  temple  whirring  a  muted  yellow,  then  a  soft  blue.  yet even  despite  his  words  he  does  bend  his  head  enough  for  her  to  reach,  eyes  fluttering  shut  out  of  feigned  habit.  "—if  that  is  the  reason  you  find  the  need  to  remove  it,  it  will  leave  on  its  own."
