Day 4

'... And that is why robots are servants.'

'So there's no room at all for adaption.'

'Not for a robot, no.'

These two talking are a couple of friends. Axel is the one saying robots are servants, and Helena is the one saying otherwise.

'A robot can express themselves.'

'Because that is what they are programmed to do. They will analyse the work they have done 'til it is refined to the best of its capabilities.'

'Programming is not the only thing that will determine growth.'

'You can have two robots programmed differently and experience the same thing and grow differently.'

'You can have the same program experience different things and develop differently too.'

It is always like this, they argue, do not meet a consensus, and start again when they get the feeling of cutting loose. They each know the other is not going to budge, because if they did it would be boring and would not be stimulating.

'... And what about my relationship?'

Even my attention was piqued.

'Hey, what you like in bed is your business.'

'We have a connection.'

'How are you sure that it is not the programming in your lover that is making sure to be a good partner to You?'

'He feels human.'

'That is what they are programmed to be.'

'He learns and grows.'

'Just like it is supposed to. That is until the new model comes out.'

'He satisfies me.'

'So you're not going to upgrade?'

'Like I said, we have a connection.'

While I enjoyed their talks, this last point hit me. Helena is certain about her connection, but I can easily be swayed either way. If was talking to Axel alone, I am sure I would go back to thinking of Violet as a thing, and if I talk to Helena I would think of her as a person. I made the choice yesterday. Despite that, I feel myself still going back and forth.

The rest of the day was quite dull as I was with my editor the entire time. I like her, she is good at her job, and great to talk to, though we both agree talking about work can be pretty dull. After we were done for the day we went our separate ways. While on other days I would be disappointed to go to an empty house, now that Violet is there I am looking forward to it.

I enter and going to the bedroom, find that she is asleep, and she is still naked. I admire her body for a moment before I head to the kitchen and grab myself a glass of water.

Violet came up from behind me and held me. 'I am connected to the house settings, I know when you come home.'

'You seemed peaceful in bed.'

'Did you enjoy watching me?'

I nodded.

'Then why didn't you join me?' she asked as she moved my hand to her breast.

I wrap my free hand around her. 'I wanted to get a shower and get cleaned first.'

'In that case, how about we share it?'

'The shower?'

'Yes. That way we can play and get clean.'

The thought of it was arousing as I kissed her forehead. 'You're quite eager.'

'This is what you built me for, isn't it? To please you.' She states as she moves her hand down my pants and holds my penis. I am glad I had already set the glass down, because I was not sure I would have been able to keep hold of it with what I am feeling right now.

'Well it was part of it. I want us to be in a relationship.'

'Companionship, love, and sex.'

'This is true.' I struggle with my penis in her hand.

'Which are you in the mood for?' she asks me directly.

Being with her has certainly made me bolder, as I replied by kissing her.
