Only the hum of Xylitol Nova's battery hummed through the quiet night, if she ignored the constant ruffling of the blade next to her.
Bamboo Blade wasn't that much of a deep sleeper, so Xylitol Nova had a feeling he would wake up soon.
Xylitol Nova rolled his eyes, before trying to adjust his charger wire.
The bed was not necessary cramped, he just preferred to recharge back at the planet, and he would much rather be comfortable.
Xylitol Nova moved a bit too much, and the other opened their eyes, albeit wearily. Xylitol Nova noticed a certain glint in her eyes, presumably.. one of dismay?
"Mu-"
"Whenever you speak to me, would it count as ai generated speech?" Bamboo Blade suddenly locked eye contact, a serious expression on their face.
Right.. Xylitol Nova was not expecting whatever nonsense his girlfriend was up to this time, however he decided to close his eyes and pretend not to have heard her.
To this, Bamboo Blade just let out a huff, and soon followed her poking him.
"I'm asking an important question!" Xylitol Nova let out a hum. "
"Next, you're gonna ask that 'if I draw, would it count as ai generated-'"
"Yes, I am actually. Would it?"
"...? Goodnight." Xylitol Nova kicked her side, before turning onto his side.
"When you dream, is it ai-"
"I don't?? even sleep?? I recharge at night, there's a massive diff-"
"Same thing, if you think about!"
"Aren't you a weapon yourself?? Surely, you must know-"
"I'm trying to figure out if my partner is ai generated or not!"
"Your partner is going to beat your ass if you don't go to sleep."
"...Would that make you a killer ro-"
"Go to sleep." Bamboo Blade pouted, before sitting up, and laid her head down.
"Fine, your no fun! I ask the important questions, and you treat them like they're stupid!"
"...I'm not arguing over this, but it is stupid-"
"-Not stupid, because technically you're a robot."
"Technically, you're a weapon. Yet you still manage to help me reassemble my wires without cutting them, correct??"
"....Fine, fine" Bamboo Blade waved them off. "You win this time!"
"THERE WAS NOTHING TO WIN WHAT DO YOU MEAN??" Xylitol Nova was going to have his circuits catch up in flames, and it was all thanks to this...endearing fool.
Bamboo Blade just poked his cheek once more, before finally turning over to fall asleep. Thank god.
Xylitol Nova seriously wondered why their girlfriend was so.. Special. Don't get them wrong, she was lovely. Just.. Okay, yea no. The questions she asks makes Xylitol Nova one step closer to disconnecting his own wires.
