The Machina didn’t know if he was doing good or making a mistake by carrying these people, but he didn’t know how else to transport people. He never even touched a living person before so carrying them was a completely new lesson he had to undertake. Just what happened when they stopped functioning at 100% and started slowing down like that, when they stopped functioning properly during a dire time. Apparently he had not screwed up quite as badly as he thought he might, hearing the boy give his approval of the ride. Smiling happily he nodded, picking them up once more and continued his way out of the settlement and towards the forest.

As he continued outwards he could only wonder whether these people will remember him or pass on information like what he looked like. He was worried that he might not be able to travel into settlements again just because of what he was, but he tried to not let that get him down. He wanted to be part of the people and wanted to see how they functioned, but if he was going to be chased out by people like that then he was not going to have a terribly great time or a lot of freedom. He was worried he might not get the same freedom others had just because of what he was. Maybe it was bad to be a machine, but then again it was hopefully just those people who had the problem was just a onetime thing.

Finding the space to finally settle down and hopefully get back on the right path again he eventually came to a stop once the boy signalled for him to, looking up at him before slowly lowering him down along with the girl. “I have not touched another being that wasn’t followed with a ‘watch it’ before”. Moving away from the pair he stared at them as if expecting one of them to get mad at him for getting them into trouble. He had practically dragged them into trouble and he felt bad for it, but instead the boy got all giggly about it. Staring at him as he instead introduced himself he placed a finger on his slashed cheek, looking away briefly before nodding. “They wanted to deactivate me. I thought you heard that”, he spoke, confused by Ethan’s own confusion, “I am C-X 00…uhh, but a name like yours…C-…Cecil. Nil value over ‘C’ and ‘xil’. Cecil is logical conclusion”.

He thought Cecil was fairly logical if he had to have a name like theirs to keep him out of trouble, seeing how his model number could cause trouble again. He didn’t want to drag anybody else into his problems, even if the guy seemed happy enough to be a part of it. He really didn’t know what to do in this situation, but he definitely upset the girl with his appearance. Looking away for a moment he hardly noticed someone had been following them and was quite willing to come straight up to them. Just what made them think it was fine to approach them like that without warning? Taking a few steps back he raised his fists, staring at the woman as she insisted on talking to them casually, or at least Ethan and the girl who appeared to be called Amuné. He wasn’t sure if it was alright that she seemed to be ignoring his presence for now considering the attention he received earlier, but of course she could easily be the type to hate Machina too. He was rather unsure at this point and would probably need to wait a while before giving his assumption that everything was going to be okay now.
