Orion paused mid-turn to head back to his desk. His grin flickered, wavering between professional distance and coy satisfaction.
He'd had the right measure of the mech all along, it seemed. There was something of a social rebel under all that government-sactioned armor and weld-scarring.
Only time would tell how much so, but Orion was never one to bar anyone from 'forbidden' data or history. His mentor had instilled a great number of concepts in his student that went against 'standard'.
"But until we can no longer provide anything, I'll do anything I can to assist with your search."
And even if it was just some mech trying to poke his olfactory sensors in places they didn't belong...well. At least he was pleasant to look at.
