WHAT Some people don't care enough for their belongings, even the sentient ones. Junior and Felix are gonna fix a few of those shortcomings for their new... acquisition.
WHEN 2106. Junior is 26, Felix is 28, Ash is ??? clone?
WHERE Local shopping center. Mall. Thing.
WHY We don't have to explain ourselves to you

It had been a while in coming and some struggle with financing, but eventually (finally), Junior and Felix had managed to "relieve" Ash of his duty at the company where he had been "employed". (Owned was more like it, and Junior tried not to think about what it meant to save one synth from his fate while leaving the rest there in continued disservice to their individuality.) The two of them owed Ash a lot, not the least of which being their current relationship status. It was a bit convoluted all told, but the fact of the matter was, once Junior understood what was happening with the business, he couldn't just leave it alone.

So, not only did they have a synthetic clone under joint possession between them but it had become rapidly apparent that Ash had no possessions to his name. Two sets of clothing. That was all he was released to them with and it definitely wasn't enough, no matter that he didn't sweat or otherwise dirty them at the same speed or in the same way as breathing humans did. Now they were at the mall, and Junior was hoping to get out of it with minimal attention. It was how he always operated in too big of an open space, much more happy to focus on the people he came with than anything else external.

"All right, where first?" he asked to the both of them. Ash's accent was foreign but there was no way of telling whether that was natural or programmed, so he wasn't going to assume he might not be familiar with the area. "I haven't actually been to this mall for a while... Has anything changed?"

"He's strong," Ash confirmed. "And warm." Warmer than he ought to be, unless he was feverish, which he didn't seem to be. Ash thought it might have been a one-time thing he'd experienced when they'd had sex, but his body was built with delicate temperature sensors that could pick up Junior's raised temperature even here.

Ash's brow furrowed, and he tilted his head. "I'm not saying I'll say anything, but... Why? Why not tell him?" Why not tell anyone? Yes, there was a lot of very complicated territory surrounding androids, but didn't he have the right to know what he was? If he in fact was an android at all. Still, whatever the case was, as Ash said he'd keep mum if that's what Felix thought was best, but he didn't understand why.
