Fletcher spent a little while deciding whether to come out or not again. Finally, she said, "I could've just told you." She didn't reappear, but also said, "And human isn't a right word. If anything that feels pain is human, you're trying to tell me that a dog is a human." She let out a wary high-pitched laugh.

"HM..." His ears quickly perked up at the sound of her voice, as he scanned the area but didn't see her anywhere. He shuffled his feet a little and scratched at his ear, with his other ear lopsided. "Oh d-duh right...!! Wait... I hope I never hurt any of those rabbits I hugged...- er..." His shoulders lowered as he scraped at the speaker on the side of his head. "Come out please...?"

Standing against the nearest wall, Fletcher finally made herself appear, still cradling her limp hand. She grinned crookedly. "Buddy, I think you KILLED whatever rabbits you've been hugging."

"o.o K-KILLED...?! O-OH N-NO..." Aurdroid glanced back at the tree from earlier, running his claws down the sides of his head with lowering ears. "I-I NEVER MEANT TO KILL THEM REALLY I WAS JUST CUDDLING THEM I-I... I h-hope that's not the reason they run from me... o.o" He slowly glanced back towards her, but shakily. "I-I'm sorry I'm just really afraid of accidentally killing something... I'm t-trying to go against my original protocol..."

Fletcher just kept staring with wide eyes and a crooked grin. "... Well if it makes you feel any better, rabbits are what we call prey animals. They, as a species, are meant to run from things." She'd probably learned that from when some asshole compared her to aforementioned rabbits. "So, like, they were going to die anyway. No big deal."

"B-but... Isn't that like saying it's o-okay to kill humans because t-they're just gonna die off one day...? I-I wish nothing had to die, especially by me..." His talons slightly curled and dug in the ground, and his shoulders slightly lowered. "I... That stuff is just unnerving..."

"WELL, I MEAN, if that'll take the guilt away..." Fletcher laughed like she'd made a joke, then glanced around. "I can respect that pacifist lifestyle. Murder freaks me out too. ... I know someone who CAN'T die, though, and it's extra okay to kill her, because she just comes back. It's super gross to watch but, like, super cool."

"O.O R-really...? I-I've never heard of that... Most humans I..." His fingers curled a little. "... Used to kill never came back. But does she feel pain...?" He tilted his head slightly.

"Yeah, she definitely feels pain in my experience," laughed Fletcher quietly, "but I'm not sure she's technically a human. I haven't asked, but, like, humans don't usually grow back full limbs. Do they?" She glanced down at her own hands.

"Uhh... o.o I... I don't know... I've never tried to stick around and see if that happens..." He scratched his ear. "Wait... Wouldn't you know more about humans than I would?"

"... I've never had any limbs cut off, so, I mean... It might grow back." She glances up, not smiling anymore, but eyes looking about the same. "I've seen other people lose their limbs but except for Jess, I haven't seen them grow back... Like, I literally don't know for sure." She rakes a hand through her bright orange hair. "God. They've been feeding me lies."

"W-well I certainly ain't gonna... try and see if it works. o.o No way!" He shook his head and slightly shuddered. "Well I guess some mysteries are just meant to be unsolved... right?"

She clenched her fist and kept her eyes on it, then nodded stiffly. "I guess so." She bounced on the spot a bit, then looked back up at Aurdroid, biting on her thumb nail. "You said you're a robot? How old are you?"

"Oh! Uhh..." He fiddled with his fingers a bit as he tilted his head glancing briefly up at the sky, trying to think. "I think I'm... uhhm... Well the people who made me always said I was made in the late 1980's... So I think... 30 or 40 years old? At least... psychically I am. I really don't even know how old my soul is..." He glances back down at his illuminated chest. "What about you?"

Fletcher, uncertain about the idea of a soul being older than the body it's in, decided that the answer was 30-40. "Whoa. I'm only, like, 19. You're an old... uh..." She squinted a bit. "Do robots have genders?"
