Arex wasn't quick enough to leave the kitchen. He cursed under his breath from behind the large open fridge door as the chirpy chime of Taleste's voice pierced into his head. He sighed deeply in reply. It wasn't that she was a bad kid, or even because he still had the same killer headache since the raping of his mind. No it was none of these things that caused him to be so anti-social, ruder than usual and cut off from the others over the past week. 

It was because he had lost his identity. Or at least the identity he had created. He had since been forced to question who he actually is and acknowledge that he has no idea who he once was.
Comprised of so much bio-mechanics he didn't even know if he could still be classified as human. His brain clearly wasn't spared from the cybernetic manipulation. We're his thoughts even his own...

Hands full with a plate of food, Arex shut the fridge door with his elbow. A faint fake smile starts his reply.
"[i]Sorry, just me.[/i]" Arex goes through the draws for cutlery.
"[i]It's ok I'm just leaving. You can still say you were first.[/i]"
Arex walks past her towards the door.
"[i]I won't tell.[/i]"

It was then his headache suddenly worsened as coincidently  Lataniva slowly neared. Arex quickly made his retreat down to the engine room. Refusing to look at those he passed on the way.
