After that, he pockets his hand and looks onward, walking off; No idea where he is going .. no idea what he'll do.

He does, however, hold onto the hope he'll get to see her again at least.

One last sigh comes out of the Scanner, as he works through his mind whatever he'll be doing from now; What it means to be alone .. he has to cope with it, at the very least.

It's probably his biggest fear.

Head shaking from left to right and back a couple ➥

Of course he’s already been painted a fugitive. It hardly matters what the reason is, either. Whether a unit is more advanced or risky if let loose, or simply knows more than it is supposed to, the outcome is just the same, especially to uncover that is kept secret. -

He seems to be looking over his shoulder with a slight smile still on his face but, it happens so ➥

His alabaster face looks towards her one more time.

❝ Keep your distance so you don't get involved, okay? ❞

[𝟗 𝐒 @YoRHa_Unit_9S]

⠀
With her brusque response, the Scanner can at least confirm that she is at least present when he'll be in dire need; That's enough for him.

In a way .. he does feel like he is a bit of an added weight, she has her own things to worry about afterall.

The same moment 9S voices his gratitude aloud, A2’s gaze returns to him, accompanied with a soft sigh that slips past her partially open lips.

“…Whatever.”

A somewhat curt response, though entirely devoid of any ill intent.

He’d better not get used to it. -

He has some skepticism going about where he should start .. but for now, he should take his own trail.

➥ thanks. ❞, his voice seems very much collected, along with a hint of something else; Something more .. hopeful.

Something more understanding.
9S can see clearly that she is very distant, that companionship isn't in her cards but .. he's thankful she's here.
⠀

[𝟗 𝐒 @YoRHa_Unit_9S]

⠀
9S senses her weird demeanor .. it is very much apparent since the moment she turned away; Something is boggling her mind. Is it something he said .. ? Or was it something he showed to her without realizing?

Nonetheless, the Scanner watches the woman in silence ➥
⠀

Realization hits on her at once of all this that she does. Her gaze narrows before it is casted deliberately to the side which breaks their eyecontact. What is she even doing here? Why bother waste her time with all this talk when she could’ve just walked away? -

There's definitely a longing in the Scanner's eyes .. the look of someone that's completely lost. In-between however, there's a glimmer of acceptance, and relief.

Something about seeing this other unit that's abandoned their old cause is definitely making him ➥

As he turns back, their eyes meet, she takes in the sight of his blue-grayish eyes that resembles her own. Everything else is overlooked, but the despondency looming over 9S is impossible to ignore.

Indeed, at what cost? They are no longer blind to the truth, but what -

As the Attacker unit speaks up, 9S looks at her with a confused look. The first of many she'll probably see of him, now that his eyes are free.

Head tilted and a hand resting on his jutting hip, he continues to look into her eyes intently.

❝ I'll do my best .. but I am not combat unit, you know that. ❞, shoulders drooping, a sigh comes out. ❝ But at least I can see what I can do for myself .. for once. ❞

The Scanner doesn't move at all, despite hearing her getting closer. Once the blindfold is undone, 9S' vibrant, blue optics shine under the sun.

For once .. he feels free, but at the cost of what?

For a moment, silence overtakes, then the next comes the measured sound of A2’s heels closing the distance toward the other android, enough for her presence to be felt. A hand soon lifts to thread through the back of his silver hair and gently undoes the knot that holds -

➥ over his shoulder, towards her. It didn't really cross his mind that they'd be allies all of a sudden; Afterall .. why would she accept him as one of her own just because he's now on his own?

9S feels like he already knows the answer to that idea all the same.

[𝟗 𝐒 @YoRHa_Unit_9S]

Turning his back on her for a moment, the young male pauses for a little while as the wind blows on by; For once .. it feels so different when it hits his cold face.

He's already looking ➥

Drawing both arms to cross them before her front torso, her back would later lean against the cold wall of the forsaken structure. The pose sharpens the contrast between her outward composure and 9S’s obvious unease, like all this is nothing new to her nor particularly -

❝ Guess we'll find out if it's gonna be either nature that gets to me first, or ... whoever they send. ❞

His chin droops downwards, a hand scratching his silver strands.

She'd be right to think that way, his reasoning very much is the same. He's had enough of being used for someone's gain. Whatever that may entail for him from here on out, however ...

His hands are lowered to grasp his hips, a sigh full of heavy emotions ➥

Although he brushes it off, insisting it is the least of her worries, the mention of him /abandoning/ all ties to the Bunker still snags on her attention all the same. That would mean he’s…

She answers merely with a nod. 9S has yet to offer his reasoning, but -
