As we'll be living together, you'd likely find this out eventually.
[ and its not like he's really done a great job hiding it from others, anyway. ]
As you said, I'm not a human. I may have once been, but not any longer. [ the same is true of zero, now that he thinks of it, but that's not really his place to tell someone else. ] In my world, I was known as a Servant... a magical being summoned by a Master to fight on their behalf.
For whatever reason, when I awoke on the station, I lacked that bond to another. It's why my powers have been... unpredictable. [ more than anyone else, a2 would be aware of what he speaks. ] Through circumstances beyond my control, Zero has ended up assuming that role.
[ that's pretty much entirely untrue, as the circumstances giving rise to his desperate need for a master were entirely of his own making. still, he couldn't have counted on zero appearing when she did, or offering to form a contract. ]
[ she isn't sure if she understands what he is saying -- at least about how he was once human and yet no longer is. a question as to how they came to be is one that she will have to ask at a later date. ]
Zero took the role of your... 'Master'? I see.
Huh. I guess it's fine for you to live with us then, I guess that Zero is aware of this?
[ that's probably an even longer, more convoluted conversation. ]
It turned out that way. She's been informed. [ and... largely didn't seem to care either way, but from what he's seen so far, her ability to take care of herself is... lacking. ]
Though I was surprised to learn you're the one who's been living with her.
[ he's... actually a bit surprised by that reaction. is that bashfulness??? ]
I wouldn't be too concerned. I'll be quite scarce.
[ basically being a ghost, and all. ] Though how have you settled in otherwise? I had been meaning to check up on you, so this kills two birds with one stone.
To put it bluntly, I got the chance to learn more about the human body. [ she she is actually proud of that because look!!! she can please humans!! or at least one of the genders. ]
[ there are a lot of ways to interpret that statement, but... well... only one really comes to mind. and he knows who a2's roommate is, so... it's not too hard to figure out what must have happened. ]
There's no need to be happy for me unless you actually feel that way. [ because is that normal??? she doesn't know. kinda of feels weird to hear someone say that they're happy for her having

How does that come to be? If you don't mind me asking ... Does it have something to do with how you're not a human?

And I'm surprised to have a male housemate. [ baby's first time living with a dude in such close quarters.
the bunker doesn't count. ]

There's no need for you to do so. I think it'll be a good experience for me.
[ probably. ] Well, mostly. My first day was certainly... an experience. The ones that followed have paled compared to it.
no subject
...an experience? How so?
[ he was there for at least... part of her first day. he’s not really sure what could have happened to change things so drastically. ]

I suppose I'm... happy... for you? [ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]
no subject
uh
sex. ]
no subject
Perhaps "happy" was the wrong word. At the very least, it sounds like it was a good experience for you.
[ he'll just... leave it at that. ]
no subject
One that is worthwhile. There's still a lot I need to learn when it comes to humans.
no subject
At least you can afford to take your time here. It doesn't seem we have that in any short supply.
Have you managed to secure work?
no subject
An endless amount of time, nothing too different to what I'm used to.
I'm going to do some mercenary work, but I don't know how stable that is.
no subject
I see. That appealed to you as well? Perhaps we can team up once more then. [ because things went so well the first time. ]
Though hopefully no illicit shipments this time.
no subject
I'm quite tempted to take up the job that you have, too. I don't need much silver, but I do need to be able to pay 'rent' for the house I live in.
no subject
I'll make the arrangements.
no subject
there are no doubt people who will show up that are into that. ]
Thanks.
no subject
[ and while he's unfortunately more than used to doing that sort of job as well... in this case, he's quite firmly against it. ]
I'll contact you with more details later. [ considering they live together now, he can probably just tell her in person when the time comes. ]
no subject
[ A job that is going to work out nicely for her.
Such a shame that someone, later on, has to be a fugitive and the job won't last for very long. Whoops. ]
