<div align=center>Finding out more on Tellios and herself was going to prove to be a challenge in it of itself. This merely stemmed out however from her usual lack of contact with others on top of her personal sense of doubt. It was irrefutable however that Tellios was an interesting person, at least in the sense of being a life form Pollyanna hadn't seen before. He had certain boundaries to what he considered immortality, which was alone something that baffled her. And apparently he could feel pain but never die... Hopefully this wouldn't ever work against him, or he could upgrade himself to work past this. He was a machine after all, something that only occurred to her whenever she watched him do something science-y or alter himself. Still pretty intriguing, at least in her mind.

"You really are immortal..." Pollyanna mumbled, not directed towards anything but more reflecting on the facts bringing themselves forth. She shook her head then and looked up, hoping that all of his advances weren't going to have to be used any time soon. Her attention was soon brought to his assurance on herself, a gentle smile cracked on her muzzle. "I guess... It's useful because I can find anything from awhile away with my eyes closed, just so long as I know what it looks like... I'm just..." She sighed. "I really shouldn't complain because at least I'm here and happy to be alive today. I know I was never destined to be a normal person, but I can't help but to look at myself and what I can do like this and wonder what the point was in keeping me alive..." Not being particularly intelligent, having a mutated form, and constantly having stunts in her memory and thought process were all drawbacks of being an accursed reject. Tellios had reassured her however that she was somebody, and she knew the same of him. Just as it would take him to learn his worth however it may as well be with her. Optimism just had to be their ally at this point, it seemed. To shake off the negativity however Pollyanna perked up a bit. "Oh, sorry, like I said I'm really fortunate and grateful to be here. Thanks for thinking so though, I hope you believe the same in yourself." Human or not he was a good friend that had some upstanding morals.

Another thing that struck her was his comment on his practically and logic. She sighed and chuckled, thinking how her own seventeen years lacked that information. Unfortunately that wasn't something as much learned as on instinct, go it seemed different in everybody. "You'll find out about how to approach that eventually. It's... Complicated, knowing what's right and wrong from what'll benefit everybody from yourself. You're a good guy though, no doubt you'll find the proper response to what you think to do... But then again, the environment you're in will also determine that as well..." After all, decisions and morale did stem from what one knows best. She smiled brightly, placing a wing behind his shoulder as she would her regular hand. "Just surround yourself with a whole bunch of good people, okay?" </div>

Tellios made up his mind on few things, it took time but he got up and filled his cup once again, then he sighed. It was an audio file that was just played back as his head didn't move with the sigh as he took a drink. He felt the liquid to a point. He rubbed his eyes and looked over at Pollyanna.

"Yeah.. Immortal.." He said looking at the ground, he was just thinking of what that entailed, all the years. All the suffering. All the loss. He would have to find a way to get someone who he deemed to be his other. Someone he wanted to protect immortality, it was a gamble he was willing to take and would do what ever the costs to help someone he was with.

"Yeah, you could find your way to the bathroom in the night with out even opening your eyes." He said with a chuckle. He was a smart ass, but that joke was funny to him. He shrugged and looked out the window.

"Yes, you are alive, if you require assistant I will be more than happy to help. My offer still stands on your genetic structure. It would be a problem to explain all this to another roommate if you just up and die one me."

He said with a smile on his face. He wanted to help, but everything was up to her. so he took another drink, what he needed most was her blood, that was the purest genetic sample he could get his hands on, that he could work with and test. He then looked at the ceiling.

It was more complicated that anyone had thought. humans were, and Tellios was a mass of complications that just made more and more problems for himself and in the past those around him. It wasn't something he wanted, it just.. happened.

"Environment means only that mammals can breath, fish can swing. Birds can fly. It can effect differently, but that does not mean that people here will not be after me."

The she said to be with good people. Tellios was a good judge for the most part, though it wasn't anything about the person at all, it was their motives and how they acted.

"I will see what I can do. It helps that I have you, and a few others Pollyanna."

<div align=center>Trying to keep up optimism, Pollyanna swished her tail in hoping that he still had hope himself. An eternity would be such a lonely time for him... She hoped he would find someone who could live up to that lifespan by his side. Which was why small moments like these and others would be important. After all, so many took time for granted, just as she had...

Before delving into these thoughts the comment about her ability caused her to chuckle just a bit. "Well yeah, there's that." It was true though- especially considering that she was prone to hitting her head on things. On a more serious note he had reassured her, both that and demonstrated his willingness to help her. The offer wasn't foreign to her and of course se was grateful for help. But he wasn't trying to fix her. She was too messed up for that. He just was finding more about her, something she had wanted for a long time. "I certainly do appreciate it... Thank you again..." She looked to her wings, clenching her 'hands' slightly. His offbeat joke had her crack her muzzle a bit, knowing that it was inevitable no matter what. "Hopefully that would be later than sooner." She was far too young to think about that.

With his other comment Pollyanna shook her head as to indicate that not being what she meant. As important as it was to keep the physical world around him in mind the company he kept were crucial as well. "I'm just talking about the people here and who you surround yourself with. I'm glad you've found other friends here too... The more you have to support and protect you the more likely they'll be there till the end... Or even if those guys do come back for you." For that, she felt useless. The worse she could do was bite somebody or claw at them. Other than that? She couldn't do anything to help her friends fight off somebody. She just hoped he could provide where she lacked, god forbid anything happen.

But hope kept up, and Pollyanna grasped onto this. "And may you get many more." Friends were nice, he was nice. Surely he would find others to fill that, and perhaps someone especially important for the roll. She then looked to the window, seeing how it was getting late. The day had gone quickly with him here, not at all like she minded. "Well, that went by fast..." She looked back at him, ears resting at the sides of her skull. "I hope your first days here were good, and that you'll get more like this." She then winked, tail swishing faster. "Still on for ice cream some time?" </div>

Tellios shrugged as he looked away from Pollyanna, her words did give Tellios some form of content as well as security. He had realized that he struck a nerve with his comment, he really didn't want a friend such as Pollyanna to just up and die. She was his roommate and a good friend for the most part. He had divulged a lot of information onto her that could be considered a problem so he wanted to make some light of it.

"I appreciate you listening to the ramblings of one such as myself. I do talk a lot. I'm a chatter box"

He said as he stood up and walked over to Pollyanna and wrapped his arms around her, he wasn't sure on what to do and this seemed logical. He appreciated the time they had talked to each other. As he let go and turned his back to her she spoke and he smiled. With what would be a smile with only content.

He could feel his face structure move.

"I-I think I understand what you meant now. I would be honored to have friends such as those. I will try to keep people who I relate myself with to those of which you speak."

He noted her natural weapons. Though someone in the air who could keep track of what's going on and attempt to relay information would be one of the best things he could ask for tactically. She wouldn't be useless.

He wanted to have good days here, he wanted to keep himself here for as long as possible before going out into the world. To gain friends he could one day return to, maybe something more. He turned to face Pollyanna and rubbed his chin.

"I like small groups. Large groups tend to make me a little irritable. Though the more the merrier as they say."

He said with a smile still on his face as he looked away for a moment as she asked if Ice Cream was still going on. His smile never left his face, he could see his face in his HUD in his optics.

"You tell me when you want to go. The Nanite will follow you around either inside your backpack, pocket, or even just resting on your shoulder should you leave the apartment. Just state a time and place you wish to go Pollyanna. I will be there with in the time allotted."
