Even a robot needs time to think.
Who: Daneel and whoever happens by.
Where: The fountain in the town square.
When: Day 30, in the morning.
What: Daneel is pensive. That's allowed.
It had been thirty days since he'd arrived here, and Daneel still had no idea of what was going on, why he or anyone else was here, or even how they'd arrived. He had a vague notion that partner Elijah would have done better -- of course Elijah would have done better. The problem was there wasn't exactly anyone to question. The passage of time didn't trouble him -- what was thirty days added onto twenty decades of existence? -- but still, he felt some small sense of failure, for not knowing more than he did, and for not being able to do more than he could to protect those who were here.
This morning, Daneel was outside, and he was looking up at the fountain statue rather pensively. Idle walks were not something he did, and he certainly didn't need to refresh his memory as to any of the details of his surroundings, but he was accustomed to doing rounds to check that all was well, and sometimes he felt it necessary to do so here, as well, where danger was a far more concrete thing.

"Overindulgence," Logan repeated with a half snarl. "I'm not in the mood for yer robot sass. Got it?"
He moved his hand from scratching through his hair to rubbing through his sideburns and half stifles a yawn. "I ain't human either. Dunno how I can heal from a god damn bullet wound, but I can't handle a hangover," He grumbled.

Daneel is just slightly drawn aback by Logan's reaction. "I apologise. I meant no disrespect, sir. It was merely meant as a statement of fact."
That he says he isn't human is... interesting. He wouldn't have guessed that, not at all. Daneel... doesn't really know how to deal with people who look human, seem human, act human, but aren't. "If I may ask, if you're not human, what precisely are you?"
no subject
He glances over at Daneel, eyes narrowed. Why couldn't he just keep his mouth shut for two minutes?
"Uh, mutant. Evolved human."
no subject
"I see. I wasn't aware of such a phenomenon." He files the information away, and he'll remember it.
