[ x - accepting / @scanncr ] “ is your brain even on? ”
The appropriate answer probably wasn't to stop and think about it, but there he was - head cocked to the side and a faraway gleam in violet eyes. Thoughtful, as if this required more than a moments consideration. " I think so. What I really wonder though is, is it even in my head? I mean, if my brain is code now, do I still have a brain? Is my real brain in my other head? Was there ever a brain in my other head - was there anything at all? " Such ponderings came with a hum, legs swinging from the railing on which he sat. " It's kinda funny. I've been around for so long and know so little about my biology, huh. "
Ah, but Emil knew that that was not what 9s had meant. His brain was absent-minded, not absent. Hazy eyes straying from the mall that had starred as their rendezvous point for this eve to look at him. To smile, lips twined with an apology for his scatterbrained antics - the ones that took place before his even further scattered musings. " I'm sorry. Maybe it was off, ehe. I tuned out. You were talking about the humans, right? Can you repeat it? I promise, I'm all ears this time! "
In truth, Emil's mind hadn't been nowhere so much as on one particular point. Yorha. More specifically, 9s' role in it. The adventure he and 2b were on, the danger. He did not think he was ready to mention it however… or knew how, to be honest. Thus, the smile - the little nudge back towards the topic that Emil had unintentionally steered them away from ( and the hope that all would be okay. )
