So many different choices… she’s quiet for a few minutes after that, looking them over before Veda finally points to one of the cakes. “This one?”
He jots down the cake number and smiles at her again before going out of the room and grabbing another binder from behind the counter, heading to the little room the were in before. “Well, now that we have it picked out, what flavor would you like? Any flavor you could imagine, we can make it for you.”
Answering his smile with one of her own, Veda doesn’t take long before finding her answer. “Vanilla?”
He starts writing her answer down before he looks up at her and smiles. “Good, that’ll make things simple. Now, all we have to do is add up the totals for everything,” he said as he pulled out a calculator and started adding the cost of everything up. When he was done, he showed the total to her,”and this is what we come out with, not including the cost of renting tables and chairs for your guests.”

He looked back at her and shook his head. “No, she’s not unfortunately. She had some other things to take care of today, but I’ll let her know you asked about her.” They arrived at the waiting room and Mike sat down and he bid the other two to sit as well. “And if Valerie has told you about Veda, yes, I built her for something other than what she is now.”
She just sighed deeply, following Mike to the waiting room, taking sit next to Valerie. “No…I met Veda some days ago in the park. We had a conversation, but nothing about ….well, nature? I thought I was human and she didn’t mention anything neither. ” She explained before start with the questions.
Mike smiled and nodded. “She won’t discuss it if she’s not asked directly, and we’ve decided not to openly with people we don’t trust. Don’t want the tech in her body falling into the wrong hands. Anyway, did you have any questions for me?”

He nods as he pulls out some paper and starts writing things down. “Now, would you like to see some cakes?”
Just the mention of that has Veda sitting up a little straighter. “Yes, please.”
The man smiles as he gets up. “Follow me, please.” He left the small room and went past the register and the entrance to the kitchen to another room that was filled with nothing but cakes. They were all card board and caulk, but the looked real enough. “Choose a design and then we’ll talk about what flavor you want.”

“Hmm, how ‘bout we put you down for about sixty, just in case more people show up than you plan on. That and if people want seconds, they can have them.”
Nodding her assent, she can see the reasoning behind that. “That’s perfectly alright.”

He looked at the plate she was pointing to and smiles. “Oh yes. That is a very popular dish for weddings. Do you have an estimate on how many people will attend?”
Another pause, counting off the names silently, and Veda regains her smile. “I think close to fifteen.” Less than that, though better extra than too little.

And I noticed she had a toy trunk with a big rainbow on it in her closet. She said, “yeah, that’s where I keep all my cosplay stuff.”
I of course went squee and said I had to get a picture to post on tumblr, and she said, “okay, but you’ll have to move my proton pack and my robot dinosaur.”
Proof:
I love my sister.
((My brother, folks.))
((My bro-in-law, ladies and germs.))

“Oh, well congratulations then. I hope you two have a happy life together after the marriage. But these are some of the dishes that were on the beef menu, the rest will be coming out shortly. Go ahead and try a bit of each and we’ll fine one you like.”
“We will.” There’s certainty in her voice, a light blush on her face as she nods. Trying a little of each in turn, Veda finally picks one and points it out. “This, if possible?”

He smiled again. “How long have you known him, if you don’t mind me asking.” At this point some small plates started coming in with a set of silverware for her.
“Almost a year and a half.” Her whole life, really, even if she refrains from mentioning that. Looking up when the plates are being delivered, she almost looks surprised.

He smiles. “And I’m sure Pandora has some for me as well, if you’ve told her anything about me. This way please. Did either of you want something to drink or a snack?”
Why was so dificult for her manage nice people..? The girl felt rare talking with him. sure he was gentle and probably smart but…After think about this she went directly to the question, “Where is Veda? Can I see her?”” she asked hoping meet her again. After all, how a human can understand how they feel. If they feel and is not just a program, part of her system to trick her own mind…
Shadow smirked at Pandora’s eagerness, “I think somebody in the room just wants to cut to the chase.”
He looked back at her and shook his head. “No, she’s not unfortunately. She had some other things to take care of today, but I’ll let her know you asked about her.” They arrived at the waiting room and Mike sat down and he bid the other two to sit as well. “And if Valerie has told you about Veda, yes, I built her for something other than what she is now.”

Of course it’s alright. I’ll be right back.” He got up and went back into the kitchen. “Heat up a little bit of everything from the beef page and bring it out to the waiting room. We’ve got a live one here.” He went back out and smiled at her before he sat down. “So, how long have you been engaged?”
Smiling in turn, her hands are folded in her lap. “Two months.” It was still something she was surprised by even now, more than happy that it had happened.
He smiled again. “How long have you known him, if you don’t mind me asking.” At this point some small plates started coming in with a set of silverware for her.

He smiles as they come to a stop. “Oh it doesn’t have to be right away or anything. Just let me know when you’re ready to do it. Or, hell, let me get you one and do the alterations to it as a present. Yeah, I think I’ll do that.” The light turned green and he pressed the gas. “Now, where do you live?”
Nodding, Mira was sure to let him know once they were in need of it.
“Not far from here. At the end of the street, take a left. I can point out the apartment building.” she directed, looking out the windshield of the car. “Kinda glad the place is easy to get to.” Mira shrugged with a light smile. Walking distance was a plus.
He nods in agreement as he gets into the turn lane and turns. “Yeah, at least you’ll get some exercise out of it after the baby’s born.” He smiles, probably not for the same reason she does, but he does anyway. “I just hope it takes off for you.”
Mira chuckled. “You bet. I’ll be needing that.” Jogging the baby to the garage with her sounded like a good idea. However, Mira wasn’t too worried about losing the baby weight with the way she worked.
But that was months ahead of her. Getting herself comfortable in the passenger seat, Mira turned to Mike and smiled. “Thanks. I…I need this.” she answered. She needed it for her family, herself, her little baby-in-the-making, and…she needed it for her dad. He’d be proud.
His smile became a little less, remembering some stuff from his childhood. “I can understand that. So, which one’s your building?” He looked around and saw more than one apartment building in the area.

Seated next to him, she leans in to take a look at the binder the man was holding. So many different choices… more than Veda had expected. “Beef?”
He smiled and flipped through some pages until he found the one he was looking for and showed it to her. “We can have a sample of all of these brought in for you to try before you make a decision.”
That being possible is what has her surprised more than anything else, and Veda finally nods. “If it’s alright?”
Of course it’s alright. I’ll be right back.” He got up and went back into the kitchen. “Heat up a little bit of everything from the beef page and bring it out to the waiting room.

“That’s her.” Shadow nodded. The elevator car slowed and came to a stop.
“Here we are.” Valerie announced as the doors slid open. Before them lay a long concrete hallway. “I know it doesn’t look very welcoming, but follow me please.”
At the end of this hallway there was a doorway on the right side with a key pad. Personally, Valerie was a little amazed that Mike gave her the code but it also felt nice to be trusted again.
”As for your questions can ask him yourself. I’m sure he’d be happy to explain.” Valerie added as she put in the code and they entered. “Hey Mike! Are you here?”
They heard something clang onto a floor somewhere accompanied by some colorful swearing before Mike stuck his head out of a doorway to their left. “Hey there. Give me a minute and I’ll be right with you.” He mostly had to clean his hands off, but he was out there again moments later and greeting the visitors with a smile. “Hey there, Pandora. Valerie’s told me what she can about you.” He reached his hand out to shake hers. “It’s a pleasure.”
Pandora raised her hand, still hesitating about the man. It was unconfortable to know that the only person who could help her was a human. She didn’t trust humans now, after spend all night with Alixon and Margot. they weren’t humansbut neither like her….but. If Veda was here then maybe, she could observe a new side….
The girl accepted his hand giving him a lightly shake, before pull her hand back again.
“It’s a pleasure…” she said looking back to Valerie.
The doctor gave her an reassuring smile before turning back to Mike. “Is there anywhere we can sit? I’m sure you have a few questions.”
He smiles. “And I’m sure Pandora has some for me as well, if you’ve told her anything about me. This way please. Did either of you want something to drink or a snack?”
