“That is incredibly convenient.” Isra’s humor is understood, accepted; the attempt at continuing the thread quite possibly falls flat, though Kurou is quite aware that he’s still learning. He’s only too glad to keep the NEXT close for a moment more, in any case. “Admittedly, I would not mind if you decided to cease searching.”
“Get a room!” Argente teased from downstairs as he got his shoes on.
Turning slightly from Isra, the android responds easily, “We are currently in possession of one. Albeit open and lacking general privacy from the rest of the apartment.”
The clone’s more than content to give another snort in response before Isra’s looking down and calling out to him. No, his own blush is absolutely never going to end... but playing along is much too tempting and fun. “Maybe we’ll see how well lunch goes.”
It really does seem best to refrain from comment, Kurou preferring instead to assure Isra as he descends the stairs, “Certainly I would not wish Kaede to be upset with me. Nor you. Nor store employees.”
Argente’s surprised by the hug, but it’s definitely not something that he minds. “H-hope you know I can’t promise anything. I’m not really the best at... social situations, either.” He’s learned, he supposes, but there are still slips.
“I have unwavering faith in both of you.” The android assures easily, ignoring the philosophical implications of his statement as he’s certain to give Asimov a bit of food before they finally leave.
