Deckard: *stiffens, not used to being held unless it's by an enemy robot fighting back, it makes him look up for a moment, unconsciously questioning even though he /gets/ what Toudou's doing* Toudou: *gives him a small smile.* Not used to that, are you? You'll be all right. *still has his arms loosely around Deckard.* Saejima: We kept your Super AIs- Hitoshi: *wry, amused, and softly, more to himself, he's not /actually/ interrupting* More like stole them. Saejima: -and had put them in new bodies. Well...you and Deckard so far. The others will join you as they're ready. Deckard: I-I'm sorry... *for what, he's...not sure...but he /does/ lean in a little* Duke: ........ why? *looking between Saejima and Hitoshi* Toudou: Shhh. Nothing to apologize over. *hugs him* Hitoshi: Because the Board was /wrong/. You didn't deserve to be killed. *yes, killed...* Saejima: *nods* It's all we can do for you right now. I'll have you relocated, and it will be up to all of you to keep yourselves going. Deckard: ……………….. *buries in, finding that he…/r-really/ likes this, even if he's not thinking consciously enough to admit it to himself* Duke: ……………. I see… *still so many questions…but his mind and heart are…numb…*
