Lily Pads:I guess I just want to canvas opinions. Lily Pads:I cannot obtain the answer quantifiably, not in most cases anyway, and such data would lack crucial context, but opinions are valuable nonetheless.
Valour 5: Everything about me? Valour 5: I don't know. I've done a shit job at getting through my siblings after i got back grom the apocalypse Valour 5:And before that I was just an arrogant asshole who wanted to prove I was better than anyone else Valour 5: I was close to Vanya, sure, but I was the only one who didn't pretend she didn't exist anyway Valour 5:And even then I was an asshole
Valour 5: I guess taking after my father did make it easier to believe Valour 5: But it was one of the reasons I was so hesitant to even consider I might be in love with Emet-Selch
Valour 5:I can't give you a real answer, Lily. Valour 5:But I know that my mother was a robot and she was programmed to love us and care for us, and do little else. Valour 5:You clearly can do more than a few tasks you were programmed to, and if there's a fault in your programming it's just that you give a little too much of yourself to others Valour 5:If you want to love, then you can love. If you can't, isn't it just because the time isn't right? Valour 5: What type of love are we even talking about here? You obviously love me, and Baritones. So why would you have deficiencies?
