[A robotic, yet expressive voice speaks over the radio.]

If I could just ask everybody following this Convoy, for no particular reason...

What's your favorite food?

[There's a pause, before he adds]

Unless you're Akihiko. If you're Akihiko, stop listening. [He means that last part in a sort of tongue-in-cheek way, except that he has neither of those things.]

oh that kinda freaks me out lol

[faceguy]

Whoa. That looks like a freaky octopus. ...But hey, octopus tastes great! Ever had takoyaki? Calamari?

[Calamari is squid, Leo... but close enough.]

[thelastb1]

I don't eat. [Normally, he would probably assume that calamari just refers to Mon Calamari cuisine. He knows there are cephalopod dishes on Dac. But that doesn't make sense, because he's pretty sure Leo isn't from his galaxy.] What do you mean, Calamari?

[faceguy]

It's like, when you take the tentacles and deep fry them. It's pretty good!

...Wait, what do you mean you don't eat? [That's a surprise.] Why are you wanting to cook, then?

[thelastb1]

[That seems like a different thing than he was thinking, then. Maybe something worth looking into later.]

I'm a droid. And it's still fun to make food, even if I don't eat it.

[faceguy]

A droid? Like, a robot?

[That’s a new term on him.]

I guess that makes sense, though… You and my brother Mikey probably would have hit it off.

[thelastb1]

Like a robot, yes. Technically I fall into that category. [He sounds somewhat annoyed, or at least exasperrated, answering that. Leo isn't the first Drifter to call him one, and while he wouldn't say it's innaccurate, it is a little bit insulting in the wrong context. It connotes that he is unintelligent, like what an animal is to a human.

Still, the annoyed tone doesn't stay long.] Well I'd love to meet him, then. [He doesn't know anything about Leo, and he doesn't know anything about his family, but the mere suggestion from anyone that he'd get along with someone is reason enough for him to want to.]

[faceguy]

[Leo isn’t quite sure what he said to make Roger annoyed. He doesn’t think Shelldon would mind being called a robot… then again, he’s never asked.

He does chuckle at that response, though.]

I’m sure he’d like that. But let’s just hope you never meet him here.
