I do want your opinion. What makes a human?

... [ his ears turn down. ] I don't know. A broken moral compass. Strong feelings. A goal that's wildly out of reach.

What do you image they look like when they succeed?

[He pats the top of his head.]

I imagine it's a little bit like BARiTONES.

Like BARiTONES? Really?

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Perhaps with not all our secrets, the deeds we have done. But the heart of BARiTONES. How we watch over each other.

I do imagine it is a little bit like that.

[ sets his claws on the heads of the robots and tugs them both close. ] ...yes, I can see that. Even in spite of the things we have done, the things we have endured, ...there is some trust to be had there. These two will trust each other and watch over each other, and if anybody dares to break that bond... [ looks between them. ] then you eat them.

[ nips at his elbow, and then attempts to tuck emet and the twins closer. ] I learned most of what I know about humans from being here, so if you'd like to give yourself a pat on the back, you've been a good influence on me.
