@edensinned has a pretty, new shiner // cont’d.
❛ i’m fine. ❜ does he look it? sound it? he hopes so. he’s not so used to pity. ❛ i’ve never been…treated like that before. ❜ not through something like MALICE. pretty white lies, name-calling, maybe, but only through fun, never━ HATRED. a real reprimand.
maybe he’s been living in a glass vial too long. doesn’t know any better. he came home with dirt on his face, and a frown, which is something he’s using so often these hours. some human called him insults outwith his compendium of names. he’s never been called a ‘menace to society ‘ before. he’s not sure what to do with that new badge.
Lola makes a soft, appraising sound as she tips his head to the side. For all intents Traci made it out with minimal damage, but it isn’t as if Jericho is overflowing with android surgeons. Compared to other cases she’s seen since joining Markus at his base of operations she’s pretty sure he’ll survive with a bit of patching up.
"Hate to say it, but humanity has a boundless supply of heinous shit like that. Hell, this whole damn country has a bloody history of treating people who are different like they’re dirt.” She scrunches up her nose before bringing her arms back to her sides. “Scratch that, worse than dirt. But, the good news is you’ll be alright for now.”
