[David's voice is flat when he clicks on the video feed. He doesn't sound sad, really, or angry. He's not programmed to experience those emotions the same way humans are, and so it's probably more accurate to say he sounds disappointed.
And maybe a little depressed.]
My creator said I was the closest thing to a son he would ever have. But because I was not human, I would never appreciate the gifts he'd given me - freedom from aging and death - because I lacked the one thing that would make me worthwhile to him. A soul.
During this breach, I had a soul, and chose to have it cut away from me. [And he's just. So sick of this, of being forced to confront these issues and knowing that no one's going to understand. This is all just so pointless.
There's a long pause, and he does consider saying something else, but ultimately just turns the feed off. It's the android equivalent of a fuck it, it's not worth it.]

You weren't?
[It's curiosity, not condemnation. And not strictly impassive curiosity, either. Part of him - not a part from Aeris Navem - is wary of David. But more of him wants to understand.]
no subject
[It's just. Flat. A statement of fact. They'd chosen to be separated, and so they were.]
no subject
[Perhaps he should leave it alone. But David is the one who brought it up in public. And he doesn't have a good enough reason to ignore him. His interest is not simple nosiness, though he doesn't consider too heavily what it is.]

[So curious. Because that is what strikes him first, when he thinks of David's personality, of personality in general: discontent, desire, drive, whether it manifests as defiance or not.]

[This isn't said in anything like reassurance; it's simply his verdict.]
