[He seemed unconvinced until the moment Alucard utters the word--destroyed. In Connor's world, androids were destroyed...for feeling?

9S' eyes widens, and he feels his pulse begin to race.]

Wait, what? What do you mean they're destroyed?

[He knows exactly what he means.

It's just like... No, it's worse. Emotions might be prohibited in YoRHa, but it was rarely ever enforced.]

[There's a hint of reluctance from Alucard, and he glances away for a moment. Out in the crowd, he can easily spot Connor, smiling and polite as always. The dhampir turns back to 9S.]

I feel as though he should be the one to tell you. But yes; androids who have emotions are considered defective. They would be killed.

I think that, perhaps, Connor is concerned about being killed as well. His phrasing regarding certain matters from him is careful, but he has emotions. I know he does. But I cannot begrudge him for being so cautious to admit it.

Defective... [9S mutters, his words bitter.] We're not defective...

[Raising his head, he looks towards Connor briefly before focusing on Alucard again.] So that's why he kept calling us deviants. I'll ask him myself, then. Things don't have to be like that here. We can...find other purposes.

[A small smile forms on Alucard's face. He places his hand on 9S' shoulder.]

Yes. You all can. I'm glad to hear you say that. [Distinctly, he looks proud of 9S.] Please be patient with him. As best as you can.

[9S stiffens at the contact. The expression on Alucard's face is an unfamiliar one, and one that makes his pulse spike. He really wants to do right by him.]

R-right. I'm not really good at being patient... But I'll try.

Having a flaw or two is part of being alive. [Alucard smiles wryly.] Attempting to overcome them is trying to be a better person.

Regardless, I trust that you will, Nines. Thank you.
