(Alyssa stares back, unconvinced.)

You don't know? Don't you have any hobbies or- or favourites? Do you have a favourite colour?

[sentiences]

I don't really get time to have hobbies.

I like blue at least?

[kievs]

Blue's a start, (she says, rolling her eyes.)

I guess we'll just have to find things you like to do. (or maybe this is just her way of asking to hang out more)

[sentiences]

I could certainly use your help. You're probably an expert.

[kievs]

I am pretty good at doing whatever I want.

Have you ever gone paint balling before?

[sentiences]

[ Dorian shakes his head. ]

I've never had the pleasure.

[kievs]

It's pretty fun, we could try that.

Are you any good at dancing?

[sentiences]

Probably? I have the information stored in my processor.

[kievs]

No, not like that. Like... closing your eyes and just feeling the music kind of dancing. You know?

Like being wild.

[sentiences]

[ Dorian chuckles. ]

Kind of? I get the idea, but I've never experienced it.

[kievs]

You're missing out; we have to do that.

(Dancing, paintball... maybe shopping?) I'm going to make a list.

[sentiences]

What's going on the list?

[kievs]

Heavy drinking.

[sentiences]

I don't think that'll do a lot for me. Sorry.

[kievs]

Fine, it's off the list. (Makes sense actually, if he can't eat.)

Well, that's all the stuff that I like to do. Maybe we can go bowling as well or something.

[sentiences]

Sounds good to me.

Have you done a lot of these with other people before?

[kievs]

Yeah. I've done most of them with my boyfriend.

[sentiences]

[ A boyfriend, huh? ]

Was it fun then?

[kievs]

(Alyssa considers this before she answers.)

Sort of. He's weird. (She misses him so much.)

[sentiences]

[ It's sweet and even Dorian isn't immune to that. ]

I hear a little weirdness keeps the relationship alive.

[kievs]

Our relationship's never gonna die if that's the case.

Do you have a boyfriend? Or a girlfriend?

[sentiences]

No, nothing like that. Robots and humans don't usually mix that way.

[ And he's the only other sentient robot out there. ]

[kievs]

Is that something you personally think or is this what you've been told.

(Seems shit.)

[sentiences]

[ His smile flickers, melting into a quiet fondness. ]

My partner told me there was someone for everyone.

. . . That's what I believe.

[kievs]

(She seems satisfied by this answer, and nods.)

I hope you find them.
