humanforthis asked: I think you're only acting strong. (Mariette)

The look that Connor aimed towards his follow synthetic held a certain sentiment of emotional fatigue, something that had previously been viewed as impossible for CyberLife models to experience. Yet there he was, displaying a subtle level of humanity that shouldn't have been there. Difficult to replicate, even more difficult to experience, but the deviant hunter was a very unique prototype, wasn't he? He didn't seem to mind that Mariette had been following him, nor did he seek to disengage from the conversation when it became difficult. But there was a long, lingering moment of silence between them as the android considered his answer, choosing his words before speaking.

“...It's hardly relevant to my investigation,” he stated. There was a distance in his dusky voice, a coolness that didn't show on his features. A faint pout plumped his defined lips, causing him to appear rather youthful. Androids didn't have a specific age, though if one had to guess, his model was designed to emulate a faintly androgynous male of late twenties to early thirties. Right now, he looked closer to that twenties range. “My personal fortitude has nothing to do with my ability to do my job.” Connor spoke in such human terms, so naturally adapted to them after spending so much time around his older partner, or Deckard. An android should have referred to his assigned function, what his model was specialized for, which tasks.

But he spoke like a human being, as if that spinning LED mounted in his temple denoting his current mental state wasn't a clear symbol of his otherness. He was different, from replicants & humans. Nevertheless, he was just as prideful as either.

The quiet evening rain had brought with it a distinct chill, one which felt as unfamiliar as it did calming. The Los Angeles rains were nothing like Michigan showers, as they were almost unnatural. The location of the famed, dying city’s approximation to the desert wasn’t conducive to rainfall. Even so, it was pleasant. The deviant watched the bustling masses of beleaguered humanity below. His was a perfect view from the high balcony of the abandoned apartment complex he had taken up temporary residence in.

A part of Connor longed to make a connection with these organic life forms, endlessly curious, as was his nature. That same innocent piece of him knew that he could never do so, for his mechanical nature left him excluded, alone.

The presence of footsteps behind him wasn’t startling - he knew that Deckard would eventually find him. The man was a clever detective, & this city wasn’t as densely populated as it had once been, before the wealthy elite & colonists left for the stars. A small sigh escaped him & his lean shoulders sagged slightly with the motion. So very human, until one got a proper look at him. He was just— “Well, now that you’ve found me…” —too pretty. Slowly, he turned to look over his shoulder, exposing the LED ring embedded in his temple. It shone a brilliant yet apprehensive amber. “What is your intention with me, Mr. Deckard?”

“ Don’t care, didn’t ask, plus my psychic visions have predicted the outcome of this encounter. ” (Feyd for Chani)

"You mustn't joke about such things," Chani said solemnly. Though truth be told she liked this quality in this man. She had not forgotten what he was- a Harkonnen and Out-Freyn but he had a directness that Paul . . . Usul had often lacked. He would have made a good friend to her dead man if only it had been allowed to come to that instead of more death.

It's one of those endless games courtly young men are expected to play to show their potential prowess in war. Most made it more of a dance but the Harkonnen was like a lion among cats. Even the Padishah Emperor normally so indifferent to the games watched with rapt attention. Finally the question was asked, what shall your reward be, young Harkonnen?

A kiss.

His eyes are fixed on her. Mouths parted and gasped. Impudent. But when the question was put to her as to whether or not she would accept she said nothing, she only leaned forward on the royal dais and pressed her lips to his forehead. "For the winner."

"You're not in pain," She said pressing her hand gently to his chest so he lay back on his sick bed. He had almost died out their in the throne room of Arrakeen and had the injuries to prove it. But those injuries were closer to scars now thanks in no small part to her father's own doctors.

"You just want attention," She teased. But her eyes practically shone when she looked at him. Her love and faith of him had at last been vindicated, the castles they had once made in the air were now set in stone.

"You are supposed to be resting," Irulan teased. She had been a proper nursemaid to the Imperiums great hero following the Battle of Arrakeen. They were not betrothed yet. But the fact the eldest Corrino princess was allowed to spend time unchaperoned with the young Baron showed that for now such things were only a technicality.

She placed the book she had been reading aloud to him on her lap and leaned forward to whisper to him. "Are you in much pain, my darling?"

They could never be sure they weren't watched but they could ensure as few eyes as possible were on them. This was one such place in the old hunting palace. The palace had fallen into disrepair as hunting fell out of favor with the court but for them it was the closest the were allowed heaven.

"Everything is moving so quickly now," She said dizzy at being in his arms but also terrified at what was coming. "Father is furious with your Uncle. You must act fast once we reach Arrakis."

She knew that her Bene Gesserit teachers feared the loss of the Harkonnen bloodline and the thought filled her with a deep personal dread especially when she felt his lips against hers.

I did dream about you. I didn’t want to, but I did. ( Feyd for Chani or Irulan)

"Why didn't you want too?" Comes the question. She hadn't had time to think how unwise that question was. It revealed so much and to be known, to be seen was the most dangerous thing in their world.

And yet she didn't regret asking it. Every Bene Gesserit adept knew of desire, and were expected to play upon them like the strings of a harp. They were not expected to feel it but there was an enormity to her desire that overwhelmed her. I am the sea-maid and I have been caught like a fish in your gaze.
