Lance looks at her. Blushing shyly. She was beautiful. Where had that thought come from? He looks puzzled. He looks at her. "If you know how I am supposed to act..." he starts out. Looking thoughtful. "Minus being a pervert and sneaking peeks while you shower...I would like to learn to be more my age." he says slowly. "I can't help the way I was brought up. I just want to be normal...even if it is only for a short time." he says finally. Looking at her. Nodding his head. "Yes. I don't know either. He got very upset when I asked about it." he says softly. "I believe he was close to her. That would make logical sense considering how your father acts towards the female gender." he points out.<br/><br/>He looks at her. Watching her blinks. He wished he could read her mind. Well he could but that would be invasive. "Yes. I have seen you in action. Not personally but through an invention of mine." he explains. "I do think very highly of your leadership skills and capability." he says honestly. Looking at her. "Here..." he walks over and types something into his computer. An image of a bird she would have seen many times appears. "This is Dodos. He is my mock bird of the desert. He flies all over the place and watches the scene from the sky. Of course I never give this to the press. They would have a field day. And it would totally defeat the purpose of me following your career to do so." he says honestly.<br/><br/>He looks at her. "I think he was worried I would get so very distracted...I wouldn't want to work on my inventions as much." he says smiling at her. Then frowns. "Why is it unhelathy to have my only companions be AI units?" he asks in genuine confusion. Hel ooks at her. "Yes. That was one of my AI units. I had no idea what you were doing or wanting me to do with your extended hand. As I said if I built them an android body they would be able to blend into society." he says honestly. "You didn't see it because the AI that spoke is the AI over the labratory section. Looking at her. "She can't see you. It is a she that controls the house section of the home. My house is a smart house." he says with a proud grin.<br/><br/>He looks at her. "Hmm...I will need to rewrite my theories with these emotion things." he says softly to himself. Looking at her. "I don't care if you can't predict it. I wish to understand things better. To understand women in general. And I think the only way to do so would be to hang around you a lot." he says softly. "If you don't mind I mean." he sighs a bit. He looks at her. "Yeah. I think he was afraid I would lose track of what he felt most important in my life." he says softly. "No. I am not still restricted to friends. I just can't make any. I'm too smart for my own good apparently." he says with a sad sigh. "He probably won't. He can't anyways. He isn't my mentor anymore. I am my own scientist now. He will always be that father figure. But it is time for me to make my own decisions." he says decisively.<br/><br/>He looks at her. "Our relationship? Oh you mean the friendship." he says understanding mere moments after asking. He looks at her. "I have rarely lost my temper. And your right...I did. But that was no excuse to be that harsh with you." he says softly. Smiling at her a tiny bit. He looks at her. He sighs a bit. And looks at her. Nodding his head at her. He looks at her. And smiles. "It has to go away right? If not don't they have medications for depression?" he asks softly. "I am not sure about a lot of things." he blushes as he looks at her.<br/><br/>"Yes. I wish to see you smile. To make you happy." he says softly. "Hmm? I have no experience with women or people in general but I wish to do the making you smile thing. This does not compute or make any sense in my mind." he looks at her. He nods his head. "Yes. I am ready for the challenge. I wish to know things I as of yet do not know." he hugs her. "Thank you Emily. For being willing to assist me in this learning process." he says. And lets her go. Turning around as he went bright red from head to toe. He looks at her.<br/><br/>"Are you alright? You seem to have quite a lot on your mind. Your facial expressions seem thoughtful." he says softly. He walks to her. "Are you hungry Emily? I can have the house make you anything you desire to eat and drink." he grins a bit. "I'm going to enjoy having you here. The analysis and data so far collected suggest we are going to get along very well." he says finally.
