Human After All

David's smile slipped though as Alma shook her head and moved towards the door, he frowned then and moved to walk after her. "I do not suggest skipping a meal."

"Yeah, I know, you have mentioned that before." David tilted his head at the sound of her clipped voice. She simply glanced over her shoulder at him before looking forwards at the white long stretching corridor she was walking down.

"You're annoyed." He stated, Alma very rarely seemed to show signs of being annoyed, or angry, or even in a mood. So, when she was in one, or showing any signs of these emotions, it was incredibly easy to notice. Her tone and mannerisms were ones which he had only see once before, and he didn't quite like it that time either.

He was a little confused, he wasn't even going to lie. Nothing in his eyes had particularly happened for her to be annoyed. He looked to the ceiling as he thought over everything. It couldn't have been what happened between them, as he stated – and would state again if it got her to see sense – she didn't stop him and seemed even more encouraging for it. Was it his earlier spoken words? David frowned, he might've been a little blunt. But he was only being blunt to her for her to see that really, what transpired didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. So, what, the platonic relationship he had suggested to her had changed to something more. Did that honestly matter to her that much. Evidently it did, and David wasn't quite sure why. His feelings towards her and this matter were nothing but positive, though that may be slowly changing now that she was shutting him out.

David walked quickly forwards and grasped onto her arm, Alma naturally pulled back not liking being suddenly clutched onto. "Why?" He asked simply, he didn't understand and would very much like to know why he was suddenly being shunned. Alma if anything just continued to pull and tug at her arm, his grip remained tight. There was no way she was getting free unless he wished it. Which meant that right now she had no option but to talk to him.

Alma on the other hand had other ideas, she suddenly lurched forwards which caused him to move backwards, she placed her spare hand to his chest and pushed at him too. David didn't falter much from the sudden outburst but his grip loosened enough that she snatched her arm free and walked down the corridor quickly away from him.

With an angry look on his face, he walked quickly after her. She wasn't going to just shut him out with no explanation given as to why. "This stems a lot more than just mere embarrassment on your behalf." He deduced.

Alma turned and looked at him fiercely. "I am not embarrassed; I am slightly disturbed." David looked a little less annoyed at her admittance of not being embarrassed, only for the expression to come back with the latter part of her sentence. "Let's break it down, yes? You are essentially in existence to aid humans, when I say this, I do not mean in any sexual way. I did not even begin to think for one moment that those thoughts would even enter your mind. But then again, I also did not think you would be capable of murder."

"I have not murdered anyone."

"You took 6 apart!"

"He didn't exactly fight back." David said in a low voice as he narrowed his eyes down at her. "And may I add, you were annoyed over that happening for about an hour then got over it. So, don't even pretend to be upset over him being decommissioned. You said it yourself, 6 was going to be taken down sooner or later. I just happened to intervene with that one a little sooner than planned."

Alma starred up at him with wide eyes and a concerned expression. "That's not how you're meant to think!"

David stepped forwards, she stepped back. "And you are to tell me how to think? Why not totally take over and tell me how to feel too? You do realise, if you listened to your boss and rewired parts of my...for the better word, mind, like they wanted you to, we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation?" David said smirking down at her. "It seems to all be coming back to you being the root of the problem, Miss. I am very sorry to have to state this, but it does."
