[Connor's never felt so light before, like all of his problems and self-doubts have taken a vacation since their arrival on this island. He doesn't question it- he doesn't even think to question it. His mind is clear, his steps feel springy, his mood is calm and peaceful. Is this what happiness feels like?
Cyberlife's idea of bathing him was a cold chemical shower that he'd never questioned and never minded, but if the thought of a warm, soaking bath interests and intrigues him, he doesn't compare it to what he'd known before. That was in the past, and it wasn't important. As h makes his way along the path toward the baths, there's a gentle smile on his face. Every now and again he stops to press his nose to a vibrant flower or simply to appreciate the ambience, the sounds of singing birds and wildlife scurrying through the undergrowth lining the path. As he approaches, his sensors pick up on the rich scent of the minerals in the springs.
His bathing trunks match his mood, bright, sunny yellow that complements the placid blue of his lazily circling LED. He wears nothing else, enjoying the feeling of the various textures under his bare feet. He's never gone anywhere barefoot before, and it feels almost luxuriously decadent.
As he nears the pools, the air becomes heavy with the thick, cloying scent of fresh roses in bloom, and stepping closer he can see Amanda at her trellises, her back to him as she tends her garden. Slipping into the warm water, he approaches Amanda, his demeanor open and pleasant as he greets her. She turns to him, a warm smile on her face as her voice floats over to him, full of praise and affection.]
Connor. It's good to see you. Congratulations, Connor. Finding that deviant was far from easy. And the way you interrogated it was very clever. You've been remarkably efficient, Connor. You're the most advanced prototype Cyberlife has ever created.
[Connor closes his eyes, basking in the approval of his handler with a gentle smile on his face. It confuses him to hear Kamski's voice soon after, so he opens his eyes, noticing Chloe for the first time. How odd.]
