"I- I am not- - made to lack sight" he stumbled, and Cv1t sighed "No one is" It tried to stay patient with tying the knot but frustration bubbled in it's wires at the annoying fabric 

Finally it stepped back with a quick look over of its handy work. Not what it was made for, but it'll work for now till it could scavenge something better then rags 

Cv1t walked around with purposely louder footsteps to the front of the nameless bot, turning to face it "And you weren't made to feel pain yet here we are" It hummed but it's tone lacked the malicious it had normally 

All it got in reply was a twitch of his tail and the weird, what were they called again? antenna?, clicking downwards 

Its eyes trailed around the area they were in, shifting its weight as it got anxious to get to a more defendable area "Come on then, give me your hand so we can get moving" 

After watching the android hesitated for a second a hand was blindly brought up and it took it, starting to make its way back to His and it's lookout while dragging the android along 

"There are stairs soon" it warned, knowing the android wouldn't ask it where they were himself 

The two androids were silent while walking, Cv1t only ever so often warning about terrain changes or asking if the blindfold was slipping off 

And finally, after a lot of struggle and carrying up stairs, Cv1t and the new defect made it up the watchtower it and Him had set up base in for the most part 

Glancing out the window, it was getting darker out and the room wasn't too bright so it turned to look at the still nameless android "You can take that off now if you want" it paused before adding on "And I already know you weren't programmed to want anything" 

Feeling him pull his hands away to presumably untie the thing and it started started to walk around, all they could do now was wait for Him to come back so it could explain what it's found and that maybe they could make use of this 

But for now.. "Do you want a name?" it called over as it walked back to the android that was currently not blind anymore 

"I'm not programmed to need-" it cut him off before he could do his whole 'I'm not programmed to' thing "I didn't ask if you needed one, I asked if you wanted one because now you can think freely. So do you or no?" 

The android stood still, not having a automatic response anymore to fall back now. It watched his head twitch out for a moment as he looked out the window by him and mentally noted it down to look out for 

"Do- Do you have a name?" The nameless android questioned, and it thought out its reply for a moment before speaking "Yeah, I do" 

The response it got back was a nod, slow and hesitant but still there "Ok.. I-  I w-want a name" and that was all it needed 

It hummed in thought, what would be a good name for him? Something not too difficult but still fitting. Hm. 

Frick it was not made for naming things 

"Do you have one in mind?" Maybe letting the android name himself would be easier instead of coming up with one 

The android didn't look at it, still looking out the window at the sky. Cv1t thought it just wouldn't answer but waited anyway 

"M00n.." The android whispered so quietly that it nearly missed it. "Is that the name you want?" It questioned carefully, not wanting his old programmed response again 

"I'm- yes, yes it is" the androids- M00n's tail swung back and forth behind him in a little wag and Cv1t ignored what was slowly wrapping around it's mechanical heart "Alright then, hello M00n." 

"Hello- " It watched as M00n twitched and turned to look in the direction of the staircase with confusion in his eyes 

"Well well well, what do we have here?" 

Cv1t turned to face him with a fake huff, perfect timing as always, N.O.M
