He smiles, "Well, I'd imagine it'd be up to her. Remember, she can dismantle me at any given time?" he says jokingly, though it rang of truth.

"Yeah," she replies anxiously. "That she could..."

He blinks again, noting her anxiety. She was worried for him? It brought a bit of a widening smile to his face, "Well...I wouldn't go down without a fight, but let's just hope it doesn't get to that, k?"

"Hey, hate to break it to you, but I saw what she did to the robots at Alcazar. She could rip you in half like tissue paper..." she replies jokingly. "But she won't. She's starting to feel bad about how she's treating you." She looks a little nervous. "DOn't tell her I said that."

He nods, "Yes, I know. But at least I have some light magic laugh--that's an advantage...right?" he laughs back. What takes him by surprise though is that Vinnie is having regrets about treating him badly. He imagined she'd be hurt and scornful towards him for much longer. "Really?" he asks in disbelief, but then smiles at Aka's apprehensive look, "It now seems like someone else is afriad of being torn like tissue paper," he teases her. "Don't worry, I shan't utter a word of it to her."

"Thanks..." she mutters in return, she resumes tossing the diamond and catching it, watching it, almost longingly.

He watches the diamond go up and down for a few seconds before adding in softly, "Is there anything else you wanted to ask me?"

She is silent for a few seconds, watching the gem. It almost seems like she didn't hear him. Finally, she says softly, "How did you make this body if you were comatose?"

"Oh...that's a good question," he replies in the same gentle tone. "The truth is, I had already been tinkering with designing toys and less capable andriods. After being asleep for a long while, I managed to regain conscious thought, despite my slumber. My things had remained relatively untouched; no one had payed any mind to them. They preferred not to think of me as breaking the taboo by making them, so they were careless and didn't notice when one went missing, or when things in my workroom shifted. One by one, they abandoned the mansion all together, making it easier for me to come and go over there. I worked my way up, possessing one form, I could build a better, more nimble body with better finger dexerity. The dire need to make something more life-like helped too--and I had no other distractions at the time...
I went through several forms before completing this one, which I deemed satisfactory. For a while, I had been afraid that I would still behave too rigid, and it would be obvious what I was, so I had to figure out a way to incorporate the things people do without thinking, like the looks of startle and shock we have when we are surprised. It would be strange to have to decide to look frightened, or flustered, and so on. But oddly enough, I discovered that had already been taken care of--it seems magic could bridge that gap that programming couldn't."
He smiles a little, reminicing, "I was very lucky...it seemed everything had worked out perfectly when it came to adopting a new form. I don't know what I would have done had I not already had a few protypes laying around. I suppose I would have had too look for a person to act as a host for me, given the exchange that if he were to help me, he could use my power. But the whole situation of sharing a body probably would have been awkward, to say the leasst..."

She nods, still staring at the gem. Shadows seem to tug at her fingertips everytime the diamond touches them. She looks thoughtful and just a little wistful, but she doesn't respond.

"...." he looks cautious, but finally adds in, "Anything else you'd like to know?"

"No," she responds. "But we're quite the pair, aren't we?" She looks at him, smiling. "Powers without a body and a body without powers..."

"A matching set?" he says without thinking, though he immediately regrets the words that flew out of his mouth.

She swallows hard, and looks back at the diamond. "I suppose so." She rubs the back of her neck, causing her hair to fall into her face, obstructing it.

She looked disquieted now, and Tall regretted his hasty words. He wishes to make amends for it, so he continues optimistically, "Well, hopefully we won't remain in such a state for much longer..."
