[ Give him a moment to let that really sink in. ]

Wait... you're only three moon-- er, months old?

[bleps]

That’s correct. But please don’t misconstrue that as me possessing limited real-world experience.

[(That’s exactly what it is.)]

[paladorable]

And just how much "real world experience" have you accumulated in three whole months?

[ YOU DIED ON YOUR FIRST WORLD JUMP ]

[bleps]

[He’s not quite sure he appreciates the implication there.]

I have helped the police with negotiations, interrogations, and investigations; and have had no issue functioning in society despite my relatively short time being online.

[paladorable]

I'm teasing, Connor. I'd never have guessed had you not told me.

[ Sure, sometimes Connor was a little awkward, but then so is Alphinaud. He just figured it was a nerd thing. ]

[bleps]

[He’s not a NERD]

I...

[Ah. Of course he was joking — he should’ve known. Arenvald has not been the judgmental type at all, in the conversations he’s had with him thus far.]

I see. Still, it was worth clarifying. I wouldn’t be much of an investigative unit if I was released from Cyberlife as a clean slate.

[paladorable]

[ That's exactly what a nerd would say. ]

No, I suppose you would not be, at that. I apologize if I offended you. I meant no harm.

[bleps]

No. You didn’t offend me.

[Connor is rather hard to offend in general. At least, that’s the outward impression he gives.]

As I said, simply clarifying for future reference. How old are you, Arenvald?

[Tangential question time.]

[paladorable]

Ah, good.

[ He just wants to make sure! They did just confirm their friendship, and he'd hate to overstep his bounds. ]

Nineteen summers. Why do you ask?

[bleps]

[Summers? 01010001 01110101 01100001 01101001 01101110 01110100 ]

Just trying to gather another fact to place into your profile.

[In other words, he’s just curious.]

[paladorable]

I have a profile?

[ Connor pls. ]

[bleps]

Of course.

[Of course, he says, like it’s obvious.]

Everyone has a profile. Information is more easily organized via individual that way.

[paladorable]

[ Arenvald can only shake his head at that, a fondly exasperated smile on his face. ]

If it works for you, then who am I to question?
