“What’s so odd about it? Before all you could do was complain about me.” Realistically, Aidou was the one who had done (and still was doing) more complaining about Aigis, but that wasn’t the point.

More odd than that, however, was her so-called ‘favor’. It seemed to take her a moment to collect her thoughts on the matter; Aidou wasn’t sure if that was a good sign or a bad one. Certainly, she was due a favor, but what kind of request could someone like her make of someone like him?

He wasn’t sure what he was expecting to hear, but it wasn’t to be a tutor in the art of humanity. Had he misheard her?

“I did explain that part, right? About my not being human?” His expression was close to a deadpan. Then again, despite being a non-human for more years than Aigis had probably been alive, there was no denying that he had better conversational skills. No contest there. In fact, an infant likely had more skill in that arena than Aigis did. ‘Miss the point’, that was an understatement…

One eyebrow lifted. “Why are you asking me, exactly? Given everything we’ve been through, I’d hardly think I’d be your first choice.”
