Since David left Liinx was forced to go out alone and find the supplies she need to keep functioning properly. She hated interacting with strangers and even just the thought of having to talk to others caused her to feel panicked. But it wasn’t like she had a choice. This had to be done.
Pushing open the door to their building she poked her head out and glanced around at the crowded street. She cursed her bad luck. Why couldn’t they all be at home right now? Why did they all feel the need to be out shopping. Sucking in her breath she forced herself out of the doorway and into the street. But she failed to notice a small pothole and her foot slipped, and she felt herself falling.. She reached out and ended up grasping the bottom of a males coat. Her cheeks flushed as a couple of head turned to see what the small commotion was about.
“ I.. I am sorry.. ” She squeaked as the male she had grasped looked at her.
He helped her to her feet and then started asking her questions.. like was she okay.. was she alone.. did she need help. Liinx knew she looked younger.. it was how her model was made. She was originally made as a companion bot for couples who had lost a teenage child. Granted she looked about 16 but it was getting dark out and her being alone did tend to gather attention at times.
“ I.. I am okay. ” She muttered as her cheeks flushed even more as people started to stop and look in their direction. She felt a small panic as some started to walk their way, The concern in the humans tone causing them to be interesting at what was taking place. “ I.. I really am okay.. I am sorry again.. I must go. ” She tried to slip past him but more and more people were starting to gather and started to ask her questions and she knew she was close to losing it.
As the male once again asked her if she was sure she was okay and didn’t need help she felt her lower lip quiver and she hated that she was reacting in such a way. Clenching her eyes shut she tried to focus on anything else that would take her away from the situation at hand. She thought of a green cleaning.. a soft wind blowing through the grass and the leaves on trees. She could smell the crisp smell of fresh apples on the tree, warming in the sun. Finally her breathing calmed and the voices around her faded a bit and became a bit more manageable. Forcing her eyes open again she found one face that stuck out from the crowd. The first thing she noticed was the deep brown eyes. So warm and inviting. A slightly flushed face was framed by the most beautiful shade of hair. A soft pink with a slight brownish tone to it. Liinx found herself focusing on this face and she didn’t know why but she found herself calmed by it.
