โ Oh no no, that's totally okay! Are you alright? Are you hurt maybe? โ, stopping about 10 steps away from her, just to make sure she doesn't feel pressured.
She doesn't look like an android .. is this a human? It can't beโ can it?

โ .. I suppose you're right. โ, 9S replies back to A2 first words, a lightly skeptic glimmer in his eyes.
At the very least he can say that he feels much more like he belongs here with her than in that bunker. All that is circling around in his head is whether โฅ
โ
โ
โฅ she'll be in even more danger because of him .. if YoRHa figures out they're running around together, they could up their efforts to search and terminate them.
He can't let that happen. Ever.
It's the Attacker unit that once again breaks him out of his โฅ

Noticing the movement, he instantly shifts his agile body towards the figure he saw.
โ EโExcuse me! Hellooooo ?? โ
Approaching with one arm outstretched .. a careful pep in his step.

The question does catch him slightly off-guard, but the Scanner's face remains firm. He fixates his gaze back up front, keeping his footfall near A2's.
โ .. Nah, no. I think .. I just knew too much. More than the others; I never felt like I belonged there. โ
โฅ
โ
โ
โฅ Keeping up the stoic look painted on his pale face, he wants to look away but he forces himself to keep his eyes on her.
โ I never really had anyone I could call friend, let alone partner .. โ
There is a hint of regret somewhere in there .. or perhaps โฅ
โ
โ
Stopping his task of collecting some flowers for whatever reason, the Scanner lifts his head up in the distance.
He searches around him .. before his eyes fall near the same tree the other is behind.

The pause by his partner does not go unnoticed; He can feel the tension but .. he can't place it, did he say something you shouldn't have?
He gets almost next to no time to think about it though, because A2 already replies before he gets to work through it in his โฅ
โ
โ
โฅ mind. Once her eyes fall upon him, 9S flinches. Sleeping in his bed .. ? He hasn't thought about it, if he were to be brutally honest, however ..
โ .. Didn't feel like home to me. โ, an awfully cold tone is what A2 is met with.
That bunker felt more like โฅ
โ
โ
โ Well .. I can't really call it a 'camp' .. I usually just huddle in a random building's corner or a tree trunk and just .. sleep. โ, he says whilst he walks behind her, a rather dissatisfied look dotted upon his visage.
Truth is that he knows both of them โฅ
โ
โ
9S stands in place as their closeness is broken by the Attacker unit, his eyes closing gently in response.
He knew it'd come to this but .. somehow, he feels like he wanted a different outcome?
Sighing dismissively, his eyes tenderly open and adjust to look โฅ
โ
โ
โฅ directly at her again now that she's further from him. Yeah .. maybe he'll figure it out. If he even understands what he feels deep inside himself ...
But she's right, they have to seek shelter for now. 9S adjusts the poncho-like clothing resting on his โฅ

Seeing the blush appearing on her face again brings that same, familiar smirk back on his lips.
Her eyes glancing around as if looking for an escape route, or the way she tries to close them like he'd just stop seeing her blush that way .. it's so .. so ... โฅ
โ
โ
โฅ ๐ข๐๐จ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ฃ๐.
Her beauty from this upclose is only making him embarrassed again but he has to fight it; Like she is. He wants to be strong like she is to stand beside her.
The way she leans in almost makes the flustered Scanner falter .. however โฅ
