[ Prompto is quick to agree, as to not leave any doubt to his impressions of the Circle's androids. As strange as it had been for him at first, Prompto is the last person to want to make anyone feel like they're being judged based off of some preconceived notion about them. Connor and the others probably get enough of that as it is. It's not easy, being different, being unlike those that surround you. ]
O-oh, I-I know! Don't worry. I'm sure Astoria wouldn't bring anyone harmful into the Circle. And...I don't ever wanna make you or any of the others feel like you're not one of us. Of course you are.
[ That's not even a question. Honestly, in this ragtag group of individuals from different dimensions, Prompto feels more at ease than he often did socially back home. Go figure. ]
And...thanks for answering my questions. I don't wanna pester you too much.
[ Especially after he went out of his way to bring him food and tissues! ]
[One of them? What a thought, one that he hadn't tried to specifically imply. Connor is content with being useful to the others, with being a vehicle to aid their missions along their paths; being a part of a group, accepted as one of them is nice, but... to hear it spoken in such a way is a little unexpected.
He seems briefly affected by it, falling into just a moment of silence, but offering a grin that looks sincere enough.]
Thank you, Prompto. I never thought that you were. I only wanted to assure you that I'll never be- [What? A mindless machine? His LED spins.] -a hollow machine, with no consideration for those that I've become friendly with.
[But he shakes his head.]
You're not pestering me. You're always welcome to ask as many questions as you like. And if you need me for anything else, please don't hesitate to call on me.
[ At last his smiles, however weary and faint, his posture far more relaxed than it had been moments ago. For all this is a difficult topic for him to navigate, that really didn't go too poorly, did it? Rather, it was insightful — challenging, sure, and he still has more he could say about it, but...for now, he allows himself a modicum of pride for broaching the subject at all. Maybe he's...getting the hang of this, after all. ]
You got it, man. I owe you, like, ten billion favors after this. [ For what he'd brought with him, and for the conversation. ] Just don't forget to take care of you, too, yeah?
[ Whatever that means for Connor. It's a lesson Prompto has hard-learned, and it seems prudent to pass it on at times like these. ]
