I have graduated. [She still sounds kind of surprised about this, a little lost.]
In three days I will be leaving to visit some of my friends who have left the barge, and to return to my household on Aurora to implement what I have learned. In the meantime, I would like to see you again. Many of you have been important to me.
[It's stiff and formal, since she still doesn't know exactly how and what to say, how to convey how important her friends have been.]

Please come visit me in the garden?

[It is the first time she has not addressed him by a title. Though the formality is a sign of her respect for him, this is a sign of friendship.]

Date: 2012-03-05 04:16 am (UTC)This-- I had no idea it would be so soon. As much as I've wished to leave this place.

Date: 2012-03-05 06:05 am (UTC)Take your time making the decision. There is no reason to be hasty. Either way I'll...see you again.

Date: 2012-03-05 06:18 am (UTC)Of course.
[His smile becomes a bit ironic.]
Well, never say never. We are both very long lived, after all.

Date: 2012-03-05 06:20 am (UTC)Were you a woman, count. Perhaps in more than research. I am sorry.
[An awkward dynamic, one poisonous to her for so long. Now only regrettable.]

Date: 2012-03-05 12:20 pm (UTC)[See her, though? It is quite apparent that the girls seems to see him as a friend far more than he sees her as one (also unsurprisingly, considering that he never sees people like that when they aren't Omega
except for the Doctor and Narvin and Atia and maybe Rose a little bit) but.... Hmm. A bit of companionship surely wouldn't be remiss. He is, after all, quite the social creature, even if he has taken to isolation recently.]When shall I come?
no subject
Date: 2012-03-05 02:47 pm (UTC)I can come to you if convenient, or we could meet at the deck. However, I know that you are one less likely to be affected by my absence than others on the filter; if you lack the inclination, a simple goodbye over the Network can suffice.
[She's not unaware of her own lack of significance to him, as much as she has in times past enjoyed his company.]
no subject
Date: 2012-03-05 05:47 pm (UTC)I see no issue with a meeting on the deck if you wish for one; your company has been enjoyable.
[For a human especially. And the people he has pleasant conversations with are so few and have quite the tendency to leave.]
{{OOC: I managed to catch a cold ten days after I had the last one so I might be pretty slow. If you'd rather assume their meeting, I have no problem with that.}}

Date: 2012-03-05 07:33 pm (UTC)Well, that just figures.
Worry not about it. Your friendship satisfies me well enough.

Date: 2012-03-05 07:37 pm (UTC)Once I would have denied the word even applied to my feelings. But if a robot can find meaning in the word then I must admit some variant to myself.
[She shifts the pot of flowers into one arm to reach for his hand.]
Your friendship has been defining. I would have you in my circles only for that, but it seems even more selfish than ambitions of research.
