"Stevie... Why does Solar have to be this way?" Tan fingers stroked gently between the red spots on her baby's forehead, she listened to its odd purr and watched its eyes flutter closed in content. His large paws were neatly crossed over each other over her legs as he rested on his belly and coiled his tail around one of her calves, protectively. "Using the brains from test subjects to make the Cyborg frames function... To torture people for sheer scientific curiosities. Children are victims too but luckily he doesn't use them as often as he does adults," Sighing, frowning, she felt depression tug on her heart and cloud her usually bright eyes. Silence befell them both for a moment, it gave her some time to breathe and soak in the new information about what he's done behind her back.


However, when Mesogog came to mind, a stray tear trickled down her cheeks, and a sad smile replaced the frown she had. "Stevie? Do you think Mesogog will figure it out? Loneliness can be a burden, but it can also be freedom... If you're bound by chains against a wall and surrounded by those who hate you, you feel alone and rejected... But you're also alone when you're free from those chains because you soon find out that no one's like you. Free to go about your business and be yourself, but there's always a void in your heart that won't be filled," As she spoke, she gently rubbed his Doberman-like ears between her thumb and index finger, and let a moment's pause ensue.


"If I were in his shoes... I'd feel very sad. Alone, because no one's like me, no one talks, or thinks as I do. No one looks like me, and seeing that I'm the only one looking the way I do and knowing the one I came out of-- wants to help humans instead of me... I can imagine how painful it must have felt for him. Sad, alone, rejected, and finding out you're an experiment gone wrong... I think just about anyone would feel the same as he does now. All of those feelings would eventually create hatred over humanity and give him a reason to want to make the earth go back to the age of dinosaurs. Deep down... I think-- he doesn't want to be alone. He wants to be accepted, wanted, needed, and feel like he belongs. He and I... Are similar to one another. Because that's what I always wanted too," In almost a whisper, Amelia spoke, and felt more warm tears trail down her chin onto the hand she used to pet Stevie. A thick gulp was difficult to swallow when she could feel her throat tighten, the need to cry was too strong and forced more tears out.


"He doesn't know this, but... That's one of the many reasons why I said I could relate to him. I can feel his pain. I grew up binge-watching this world's series on TV when I was small and continued to watch it as I grew up. I still can't believe I have the hots for him even as an adult... You'd think I would've grown out of it by now. But I guess... A piece of me just wanted to find someone to personally connect to and I guess that's when I fell in love with him. He's handsome, his skin is so pretty with the red spot on his head, and those cool red claws. His intense stare makes me flustered, his voice is like an ice-cold drink, and when he's angry, well... I don't think I'll tell you about that part... Hahaha.~" chuckles escaped when her eyes closed, she wasn't aware of the dino man who lingered near the doorway, for she was too fixated on talking to Stevie to notice him eavesdropping.


"I love his dedication. How determined he is to reach his goals. He shows strength and dominance when he walks into a room, but I know that's mostly just a facade to hide how he feels. I bet you anything, when he's alone and sitting on his throne, he's cursing the world and thinking about how to approach his next plans. Even knowing that no one else is like him, he still pushes through and gives himself a reason to move forward," Another giggle escaped when she leaned down to nuzzle her head on top of her baby's.
