"I am exactly what they say I am."

"Well somebody needs to watch you. What are you going to do if the chip starts frying your brain, huh? Nothing."

His words are harsh but not unreasonable. He sighs heavily, shaking his head. "Fine. If you're not going to let the alertbot watch you, I'll have to keep an eye on you instead."

Hands on his hips and frowning in annoyance, Nefarious shooed the little alertbot away with his foot; it gave a beep of indignation before skittering off back from wherever it had come, leaving the two alone in the hallway amongst the boxes Flame had tried to nestle herself amongst.

Nefarious made a good point. And as much as Flame had wanted to counter and ask him what he'd do if something happened while he was clear on the other side of the base, she instead kept her mouth shut. At least, about that.

As Flame moved to stand next to Nefarious, ready to follow where he led, the feline offered a tired "Thank you" before gently bumping her head against the doctor's leg. Her thanks was a catch all, really; for offering her safety and putting up with her in her current state.
