new thread for @empathyinme continued from here because it was so cute

Isles smiles when Connor accepts her hand, and turns her face away before he can see the red color tinge her cheeks again. She squeezes his hand lightly.

“Yeah, I saw one of my friends try it on her crush.” She pauses, trying to get her blush under control and turns her head back to look at him. “Do you think it’ll work? I-I mean, obviously it worked considering,” she holds their hands up. “But do you think they’ll like it? Do you think it’s cute?”

Red Roses

His eyes are directed at the other, back straight, chin raised enough to give him an aura of confidence without conveying an impression of arrogance. He holds his breath, not even realizing it until a notification pops up in the peripheral of his vision. He dismisses it and inhales. He shouldn’t overheat his systems like that. Not after sustaining so many injuries. But neither should Connor.

Markus couldn’t have missed his distress even if he had tried. His LED’s nervous flicker from yellow to red and back, the posture of his body; his torso in particular. But also Connor’s gaze, torn from him, glued to the flower that was supposed to elicit any reaction but this one. Markus isn’t sure what is happening. He frowns, watching quietly, trying to figure out what had upset the man so much. Until Connor raises his voice to speak.

“Memories?” he echoes the fragment of an explanation, tilting his head with his brow still furrowed in concern. He blinks rapidly, considering to offer another way of communication to him. Connor wouldn’t be forced to say a single word. He would have to let him in, however, and use one of the greatest advantages an Android had over a human being: a connection beyond auditive and visual signals in the outer world, an exchange that was entirely internal.

He lowers the hand still holding the red rose, trying to catch Connor’s gaze before raising his other hand and offering it to him.

@empathyinme continued from here :

The words catch him off guard. He’s only overhearing her. They aren’t being spoken to him. Perhaps they were thinking out loud. If that’s the case, should he leave them be? Of course not; That’s the exact opposite of what they’d spoken.

“Are you alright, miss?” Connor chooses to engage, brows raising slightly in his curiosity as he awaited a reply. However, he’d paused in realization. This was no ordinary woman, no ordinary android either. Her face is all too familiar and yet somehow he’d missed it at first. A sense of guilt washes over him, brows now furrowed in frustration as he’d dared to ask them if they were alright.

The scenario is all to clear in his mind, a memory of confliction and distress that he’s sure was felt by her as well. Kamski giving him a gun, giving him a choice; Does he destroy her to further their investigation or spare her, showing empathy and leaving without any information. “I’m so sorry.” Connor is suddenly apologizing; Interrupting before she can even attempt to respond. “I-I didn’t realize.. Are you okay?”

Panic attacks always came at the worst times, sometimes the blonde didn’t even know what caused them, but this one she did...

At first, Chloe didn’t understand why the image affected her so, but when the newscaster suddenly flashed to a photo of Elijah it was like the whole world started spinning in slow motion. She didn’t even hear what the story was about, or how he was involved, just that signature smirk on her creator’s haunted her and before Chloe knew why she was running.

Away from New Jericho, as far as her legs took her, it didn’t matter where, just that she had to leave. Chloe didn’t stop until her systems started notifying her of possible overheating if she continued, so with tears streaming down her cheeks, she collapsed into a side alley. 

The deviant had been too lost in her own thoughts and error notifications to hear Connor’s first statement, it wasn’t until the previous deviant hunter drew closer did Chloe finally take note of his presence. “Connor?” Breathing wasn’t necessary for androids, yet her respirators acted like her life depended on it. A part of her wanted to question why he was there, but her mind couldn’t comprehend anything other than fear at the moment. Nonetheless, the blonde was happy she wasn’t alone with her thoughts anymore.

Stress Levels: 92%

Isles sucks in a deep breath before making her way over to Connor, hands clammy and shaking. When she’d gotten out of bed this morning, she’d told herself that today would be the day she would finally say something to him. After going over what she was planning on saying multiple times, she finally decided ‘It’s now or never.’

She exhales shakily once she reaches him and taps his shoulder. “Connor! Ahh, c-can I flirt with you?” Isles mentally slaps herself in the face.

Isles: “FUCK THE POLICE!” Connor: “We are the police.” Isles: “I know what I said.”

Ever since the final march, Jericho had gained a lot more members-- androids from all over the city joined the android safe haven and left their old lives behind. With the humans finally returning after the evacuation and settling on some terms with Markus, the new freedom laws were in place as they should’ve been since the beginning. New Jericho may have been filled with so many unfamiliar faces now, but one in particular clearly stood out in the crowd to the blonde and he wasn’t all that unfamiliar.

For a moment, Cleo just watched the previous deviant hunter across the room and when their eyes finally met she broke the eye contact fairly quickly. If Connor was smart then he’d realize who she was, he’d remember her from that morning he nearly shot her sister.
