If that's a "yes" to letting us gossip about you, then I'll take it!

[ You don't want this, Shirou. ]

[projections]

I'll just have to accept the facts as they are.

You two are going to talk about the embarrassing things I've done at home. [Oh well.]

Have you done anything embarrassing Athena?

[psycholawgy]

[ She's done a lot, but she's never personally considered them embarrassing. ]

Not that I know of. Why?

[projections]

It's not fair if you get listen to my embarrassing stories.

I want to hear some of yours. [He is 5]

[psycholawgy]

Umm... are you sure?

[ Welp, she just thought of one. ]

[projections]

I'm sure.

You'll be hearing a lot of my embarrassing moments soon enough. [lord help them.] What have you done before?

[psycholawgy]

I used to think robots and humans worked the same! So when my robot bro— [ She was about to say "brother"... ] friend had some problems in the wiring in his arm, I thought I could fix it with bandages.

[projections]

Someone corrected you later.

Humans and robots don't work the same way. No, quite frankly I'm still not used to the idea of robots functioning similarly to humans.

I'm assuming it was normal for you?

[psycholawgy]

Ehehe... it was normal when I was a kid, yeah. It's funny, right?

[projections]

I wouldn't laugh at you for that. [Shakes his head slowly instead.]

You didn't know any better.

[psycholawgy]

Heh heh. Well, there's your story!

[ At least that was one thing she got over. If Shirou had asked more about robots and why it was normal for her as a kid, she'd retreat from the conversation. ]
