06's Dorm
MX-Z0: "Hm...I must admit that your room is rather empty."
Rue: Rue blinked, slowly opening his dreary eyes..."...Ah. Did I-?"
MX-Z0: "Yes. You unfortunately fell asleep for a moment."
She smiles. "I win."
Rue: "...I don't believe you won. I still won a majority of the matches, so I think the night is mine."
MX-Z0: "But I stayed up longer, did I not?"
Rue: "You're a robot...and I am only partially so."
MX-Z0: "Hm. Fair enough."
As Rue lies there in his messy, plain bed, MX-Z0 sits on the side. "I am curious, however. Where did those bits come from? It's not unusual for serpents to get artificial enhancements, but yours seem...less desirable to be voluntary."
Rue: The look in his eyes goes from a calm neutrality to a less-calm one.
"...Childhood accident. Not much else to be said."
MX-Z0: "...Accident? What kind of accident would cause you to lose an entire arm...?"
Rue: "...Well, if I have to be more specific, it was an incredibly violent car accident. I ended up in a coma as well."
MX-Z0: "Her eyes widen. Oh....oh, dear. I would assume the metal extrusion on your head relates to that...?"
Rue: Nod nod. "Correct. They had to insert some things into my brain to wake me from my coma...unfortunately, the procedure was done incorrectly."
MX-Z0: "...How so?"
Rue: . . .
He blinks, and looks away. That normally stoic expression he wore had shifted. It looked...uncomfortable. Perhaps...no. That couldn't be fear. It was something more...melancholic.
MX-Z0: "...I understand. You do not need to tell me too many personal details..."
...Her antennae twitch. "...But do you mind if I hang out in here for a while longer? I find you rather interesting, I must admit. The air in here is also quite relaxing."
Rue: "...I don't mind."
