Neph lets out another of their weirdly muffled, mechanical giggles at the sight of Kari's rifle,"Teasing: I like your gun. Cute and deadly. Like you." They've never really had much of a friend before. The giddy newness of the thing has them all but prancing around the trashed murder scene, though they are careful not to leave any signs of their presence, "Amused: Super murdered. Like murder but... super. With a side of smashing. Good idea."
Neph affects a delicate shudder, vibrating from the top of their head down to their cloven toes, "Firm: Good. I'm a freelancer and I'd rather not disrespect an aristocrat in their home. Especially an aristocrat who's one of the few meatsack races I have the good sense to fear. Meeting and knowing is good. But only with some assurance of safe passage. I'd even settle for no attempted dismemberment. A conundrum for future me, one supposes."
As they leave, the animation and life seems to leech out of Neph. It's a survival mechanism, sorely learned. Nobody pays attention to just another android, be they butler, messenger or plaything. I'm not a person. I'm not a person. Don't look at me. I'm just another thing. Keep your pace steady. Posture perfect. Don't look. Don't be curious. Be a thing.
It's only after they arrive at Farendajo that Neph begins to thaw. A flurry of greetings and peasantries blur by, Neph relying on their minder to prompt waves and pleasant greetings, though they do commit the name Xotl to memory. One of their first coherent thoughts as they swim back to personhood pops right out, "Awed: Kari. Is Xotl being genuine? I don't think I've ever encountered a being so cheerfully oblivious. They didn't even give me a second glance. I enjoyed that. Confused: Also would you clarify your ass buying things? That seems anatomically improbable."
