( Given enough time, the novelty of being understood will probably wear itself thin. For right now, though, it isn't even close. The man's face blooms in amusement and Wrench's expression is quick to follow. The laughter is such a genuine shock to him it sends a surge of oxytocin coursing through his bloodstream. Despite whatever first impression he's been intent on cultivating, Wrench grins with enough earnest amusement to reveal the gentle gap between his two front teeth.
He catches himself almost immediately, though. The momentary delight fades from his expression as though it was never there in the first place, and Wrench arches an eyebrow at the other man. )
You understand me? That's great. But I'm still deaf.
( He takes a step closer, narrowing the gap of space between them in a posture that might seem almost threatening, but Wrench directs himself toward the passenger side window. He leans in close enough to scrutinize the android's eyes up close before reaching out and pinching two fingers around its cold metal nose. He can't will the alloy to move, but he holds his hand there as though he means to suffocate it. After several seconds, Wrench steps back from the car door again. )
Hope it doesn't suddenly wake up while you're spooning with it.
