“ Sounds more like you’re avoiding it entirely. ”

Taking a breath before ultimately shaking his head, eyes closed with a low huff escaping the drone.

“ .. I’m not sure if you’re just remaining code, or outright a completely remade version of Cyn .. but I wanna give you a chance .. ”

“ Good .. good... Wouldn’t expect less from her .. ”

Keeping his grip on J’s hand tight, the familiar cross of death overtaking his visor as a manic grin split his maw.

“ Because unlike who I was before .. I’m not afraid of you anymore. Nobody’ll stop me if you hurt them .. ”

Geez, N.

“ You , apologizing ? Never thought I’d see the day !

I know Cyn isn’t lurking around .. Uzi has to deal with her day in and out ..

But what’s this about you sayin’ sorry ? ”

Genuine curiosity on the drone’s visor , head remaining tilted to the side .. very much like a dogs’ when told something.

“ Wait — J’s here .. when did J .. ?? ”

Cue the golden retriever just grabbing at his hair with a low growl escaping from his throat .. of COURSE his /former/ boss is here .. why wouldn’t she be ?

“ of all the times for me to actually feel good about myself .. ”
