[there's something so funny about the way that scien gets blasted and yet on his emotional processing side, there's something... incomplete about it. how the feeling of fondness never completely manifests - instead stalling out and then disappearing entirely
scien still makes a face at the feeling]
Eugh...
Most likely. That's the way in which society works. Relying on one person to be a savior often backfires.
[ and once again he is just SOOOO FOND he is thinking about his original blorbo and it is just affection and pride and gratitude abound. but then, there's these fellas and their off-kilter feelings.
[ that's what he means, mostly—dahut's reaction had not been so disdainful, but there were still problems with all the surrounding emotion.
being conscientious, he tries NOT to think about link which just kind of makes him think about link, he just likes him so much, but the little tug of war going on in his fish brain at least does not hyper beam any more emotion at scien. ]
[ HE MISSES HIS LIL GUY scien also has a lil guy ]
Hm... [ trying........ but no ] I can't relate. Though you may not be as emotional as one of us, I enjoy the glimpses of your feelings that I get to experience.
[ precisely because they're so different. ]
Just like you were seeking out different blood samples, I suppose, to understand our bodies and the nanites better. Feeling others' emotions helps me understand them as well.
[i can't believe sidon is the first one to get this lore from scien]
Relivers don't have the capacity to feel strong emotions. When you become one, most vivid ones are left behind. I have enough to exist in society with the bare minimum, but I lack interest in experiencing more than that.
I have no interest in being understood either, but you should at least have all the pieces before you start spouting drivel.
scien is just :man_standing: as sidon's emotions continues to hit him in waves (and then disappear shortly after in that strange, almost mechanical way)]
My hope is that it won't last forever. Just... keep your distance so I don't need to endure it as strongly.

actually, he'll just ask about it. ]
Does it bother you, when I feel strongly?
[ he's kind of prone to doing so. ]
no subject
No.
[he actually doesn't care about how much other people as long as they're not getting in his way]
But it bothers me that now I have to feel it.

It does not matter what the feeling is?
[ even if it's positive? ]
no subject
No. It's not mine, so I don't want it. I'm not an emotional person to begin with, and I'd rather leave it that way.

his reaction is mostly—curiosity. a little something else, quietly hidden. and then something sparkling and pleased. ]
But, you see! This is something I'm glad to learn about you!
[ even if he thinks it's drivel. ]
If you don't feel so strongly, if you don't want my emotions imposed upon you—I want to know these things. If I don't understand yet, then I want to!
[ he is kind of getting a picture of how these relivers are, but not really the whole thing. he's learning. ]

[icky gross emotions getting all over him]
no subject
I will try to rein them in.
[ he does try, even if they're still... there. ]
But that doesn't change what I've said. Tell me more about you! Your world—the things you're trying to save.
no subject
Don't misunderstand me. I'm only interested in my research.
It is incidental that my research aligns with preserving life and saving others.
