[Whatever was twisting in her gut immediately spins out and dissolves, and she lets out a quiet, shaky breath because see? What was she even worrying for? Of course it wouldn't be anything so devastating.
Although that's not to say it's not surprising.
But then again, maybe it really isn't that surprising.]
You're not intruding on anything. [Jude had so much to say and had such a hard time getting it all out, she figures it's probably best to address them one by one.] He told me a little bit about it, although he didn't say who confessed. I didn't know it was you. [a beat] Although I guess I'm not surprised. I don't know anyone who talks about 9S as much as you do.
So thank you, for telling me. 9S will probably be stuck on that for a while given that it's so ["unnatural," she almost says, but she doesn't think Jude would like to hear that] strange for us, but... I think of all the humans I've met so far, you're the one who matches him best for something like this. I'm glad that it's you.
You'll try your best to make him happy. [That's what these kinds of relationships are supposed to lead to, right? Happiness. 6O certainly made it sound like that's what it was, and she wasn't exactly keen on using that wandering couple as a reference for romance.
There's a kind of firmness to her tone though. Nothing cold or anything like that, but one that brooks no arguments or rebuttals. The kind that would remind someone that 2B isn't just an android, she's a soldier, and for good reason.
The kind you wouldn't dare displease for fear of the consequences.]
