Taet followed her in silence, true, but he did pay attention to her. The way she moved. The body language, or what he could pick up of it. She seemed a little rushed to him, perhaps out of anxiety, perhaps because she was nigh-nude beneath the somewhat uncomfortably not-there robe that she was using to cover herself. Whatever the case, the android followed quickly, keeping pace much more easily on the longer legs he'd been afforded.
When they arrived at her place, the first thing he noticed was the cleanliness. The apartment was immaculate, and Taet had a silent moment of awe and frustration. There wasn't anything to do immediately. It almost made him want to make a mess just to clean it up, but he resisted the urge, instead, simply walking in after her and shutting the door behind him. She spoke, and he glanced her way, green lenses taking in her expression as she formed the words and softening somewhat through a manipulation of replica muscles in and around the eye.
"Of course. Uh, if I had anything to complain about, it would be how clean you keep it."
He'd made his way over to the kitchen area, where he ran a ceramic-plated finger over the surface of the kitchen counter. There was hardly any dust, even. Taet raised his head again and looked at Dax, small smile on his face. This woman had done so much for him, despite the oddity of his situation, the ease with which she could have simply turned him over, and the stress which he had almost certainly put her under. He owed her so much, and though he knew one part of that feeling was simply his programming demanding his serve his master, there was a part of him which he thought felt genuine debt to this woman.
A debt which he'd repay somehow. But for now, Taet made his way to the couch and sat down, testing it a bit before relaxing into it a bit and letting his head rest against the cushion.
"So, what do you usually do after work?"
Smalltalk is hard.

The mind is a fantastic, dangerous place. Don't go alone.
