We're a Couple of Misfits

<div align=center>To be honest, the sounds of his fate seemed a bit depressing. He didn't feel things like she did, even though what she knew and felt in the first place was a bit twisted. But to not feel love... That was so sad... With hope however she figured the robot was capable of adaption. Maybe he could learn, or the other human emotions would trigger inside of him. She remembered faintly how she was when her creation had been unsuccessfully completed. She wasn't at all the way she was today, as the poor animal her body once was had been so pumped full of human genomes that it couldn't psychologically decide what she truly was. Naturally at that point she was hardly much of either. Those were dark times.

But the prospect of watching the world cycle eons ahead in the future was a neat idea, on any case.

She sighed, and continued to look through more supplies until Tellios addressed her again. He wanted her to leave? Had she done something wrong? Nonetheless she at least understood. She didn't want to be a burden, anyhow. Besides, he probably needed alone time anyway. "Ohh... Okay." She grabbed the supplies she had gathered, as well as the bucket of paint. That would probably be outside his door soon. She turned back to him and smiled. "Not at all. Anyway Tellios, it was nice meeting you. I know I'll see you soon, so until then, I hope you find what you're looking for." Admittedly she was curious as just to what that was. But it wasn't her business, now was it? She approached the door, just about to leave before a final question. "You sure you don't need anything else?" She didn't want to prod, but it didn't hurt being polite. </div>

<div align=center>She wasn't anything close to a doctor, but it didn't take one to know that something was up with her new friend. She also knew a fake smile when she saw one, for she knew the art herself. There was something wrong, but she didn't want to prod. Moments where she needed to be alone... Those were not something all that foreign to her. Especially when she had those memory relapses... Fortunately, those hadn't occurred in awhile.

She too feigned a fake smile that masked her uncertainty and fear. She didn't want to worry him, and he not her. She wanted to find out what was wrong, but... He needed space. But she didn't want to leave him all alone... It was a bit of a difficult decision. Despite her desires to help him, she felt she would only make things worse. So she decided to leave, much against her will.

"Alright then... You'll be okay... Right?" She made sure before stepping out. "If you need anything, holler..." She then chuckled lightly. "I'll probably shift back once I'm there... And I got good hearing." It was true though. She could pick up a conversation on the other side of a busy room. "Adios." She bade, before closing the door and leaving him. </div>

<div align=center>As she had sworn, Pollyanna returned to her side of their dorm. Keeping positivity she told herself that everything was fine, and that Tellios just needed to explore or something. But somehow she knew everything wasn’t alright. She couldn’t explain her worry for someone she just met, but she felt as though lab experiments needed to stick together. Animal instinct, almost.

Speaking of which…

As soon as she entered and closed the door she shifted back to her ‘real’ form in just a few seconds. The young-lady-turned-bat-creature-mutant stood alone in her room before plopping in her bed hammock, nuzzling in a fortress of pillows. She rolled to her back and looked to the roof, as if to contemplate something. It had been an eventful sort of day… Something she wasn’t quite used to. Before she thought she was one of the few named scientific experiments that both flopped and managed to survive. And it just so happened that they shared a dorm together. Her trail of scatterbrained thinking went from this to the nanite he had given to watch over her. By that, she felt an obligation to return the favor, at least in terms of having each other’s backs. Besides, she needed friends pretty badly.
Her peace was disturbed with a loud thud from where she presumed he had been before. Her head perked up in a prairie-dog fashion, sensitive ears perked. But as she almost pounced up, she had to remind herself that it was none of her business. He needed to be left alone, and she had to respect his privacy. Besides, it wasn’t like she could do anything for him anyway. So there she waited, easing herself to clam back down. If he didn’t come back in a few hours, then maybe he was in trouble. But nah, nothing bad like that would happen, right?</div>

<div align=center>She had laid silent for awhile, almost tempted to take a nap. Her wing flopped against the ground while her face was turned to the ceiling. So much for her and motivation to go and do something. Though, to prevent herself from nodding off, she kept her eye on the nanite left in her room, studying it curiously. It was an interesting bit of technology, and she wasn't even into that sort of thing. It didn't seem to be moving much however, something must have been wrong...

Before she could ponder that she heard someone enter the room, springing up to a sitting position almost immediately. She had considered shifting back for a split second, but he had probably already seen her so there really was no point. She still stood up, straightening her posture and folding her wings as a bird would. She approached him.

"No, it's fine... I just get a little paranoid is all." And it was true. If something was amiss it would gnaw at her until it drove her the point of doing something. "You're okay though, right?" Even if nothing did happen she wanted to know the same thing. Just to make sure.</div>

<div align=center>Well, in any case it seemed like he was back to his old self. And with her knowledge of what he was she had no reason to be concerned about his drinking habits. It must not have effected him, because with all the consumption going on he Gould have been out cold if he was a human. But he was none of the sort.

When he had reassured her, she smiled a relieved smile, flashing her deadly canines in a benevolent manner. "That's good..." What a relief. With his question, she shook her head. "Nah, I was going to take a nap or something, but I couldn't sleep." And understandably so. Her tail began to swish, as he ease began to come back. "What didja learn?" She asked curiously, hoping that he did actually pick up something about art. At least they would have something to talk about that was in common with the both of them. </div>
