Adam watches his creation, and the creation watches right back. He is programmed to observe, to learn. He observes Adam, the person he knows he is meant to exist for. He takes in the little twitches as Adam sees his eyes, the way he lights up when H-13 speaks.
He likes that.
Adam claps and H-13 feels something new activate in his system. A reward pathway? Pleasure. Approval. He stores that information. He watches as Adam unhooks him from his offline supports and observes the brush of fingers against his skin. He blinks.
"You are incredible, Master, for creating me," he adds, feeling that reward activate again as Adam laughs.
"Yes, Master, of course." His eyes flicker and he goes still, focusing all his power on running a thorough diagnostic and scouring all files for potential errors.
Some moments pass, no longer than a few minutes, and H-13's eyes focus again. "No potential problems are detected. I am clean and functional. What more might you require of me, Master?"
